Coords HUD Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the coordinates display?
The mod displays your coordinates by default once installed. If you don't see them, check your config file to ensure the HUD is enabled and positioned where you expect it on your screen.
Can I move the coordinates to a different part of my screen?
Yes, the mod allows you to customize the HUD position through the config file. You can set exact coordinates or anchor it to corners and edges of your screen.
What's the Placeholder API and how do I use it?
The Placeholder API lets you insert dynamic information into HUD messages using special tags—like player names, coordinates, or server data. You write these placeholders into your message templates in the config, and they automatically populate with live data.
How do I create different HUD messages for different players?
Use the player-specific customization feature by setting up individual player entries in your config or database file. Each player can have their own message template that overrides the server-wide default.
Does this mod cause lag on servers with many players?
No—the mod is designed for efficiency and minimizes packet transmission, making it suitable for large servers. It avoids heavy processing by using a config/database file instead of storing data in the world save.
Where does the mod store its settings?
Settings are stored in a dedicated config/database file rather than in your world save, which keeps things organized and makes it easier to transfer settings between worlds or servers.
Can I hide the HUD temporarily without disabling the mod?
This depends on your mod version—check your config file for a toggle option or keybind that lets you show/hide the HUD on demand without restarting.
Is this mod compatible with other HUD mods?
Compatibility depends on how other mods render their HUDs; conflicts are possible if multiple mods try to display in the same screen area. Test with your other mods and adjust positions in the config if needed.
How do I format the text color and style of my HUD messages?
Most formatting is controlled through the config file using standard Minecraft text formatting codes. Check your config documentation for the exact syntax your version supports.
Can I display information other than coordinates?
Yes—the Placeholder API supports various data types beyond coordinates, such as player names and server-wide information. What's available depends on the placeholders your mod version provides; refer to your config file for the full list.
