Better F1 Reborn Mod FAQ

Press the F1 key as you normally would, but instead of jumping straight to a fully hidden HUD, the mod cycles through its display modes each time you press it. Keep pressing F1 to move through the modes until you reach the one you want.

The mod cycles between no hidden UI (everything visible), only hidden UI (HUD elements hidden but your held item still shows), and all hidden UI (the standard vanilla F1 behavior). The middle state is the one this mod adds.

That's the mod's intermediate state working as intended — it hides the HUD but keeps your held item visible so you retain a visual cue. Press F1 again to reach the fully hidden mode if you want the item gone too.

Keep pressing F1 to continue cycling; the modes loop, so after the fully hidden state you return to the normal, fully visible HUD. There is no separate key to reset it.

The mod is built around the F1 key, so the cycling behavior is tied to that key by default. Check your controls settings to see whether the mod exposes a rebindable keybind in your version.

Cycle to the intermediate mode where the HUD is hidden but the held item remains visible, then take your screenshot. This gives you a clean frame with your tool or weapon still in view.

No — the intermediate mode hides the HUD elements, including health and hunger bars, while keeping only the held item visible. If you need to track health and hunger, stay in the fully visible mode.

It generally works alongside mods that add their own HUD elements, but those elements follow the same hiding behavior when you cycle modes. If another mod manages the HUD independently, you may see inconsistent results.

It only changes what HUD elements are drawn, so the performance impact is negligible. You should not notice any meaningful difference in framerate.

Yes — the intermediate mode is useful for a clean on-screen look while keeping your held item visible for viewers. Cycle to that mode before recording so your HUD stays out of the way without losing that visual cue.
