EssentialGUI Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I open the HUD settings?
Press F12 to open the EssentialGUI options menu. From there you can toggle different HUD sections on or off and switch between available display styles.
Why is my FPS counter showing but I can't see my coordinates?
Each HUD section can be toggled independently through the F12 menu. Open the options and make sure the Player Position section is enabled to display your coordinates.
Can I move the HUD elements around on my screen?
Yes, you can customize the position and layout of HUD sections through the F12 options menu, allowing you to arrange them to suit your preferred screen layout.
What's the difference between Player Coordinates and Dimensional Coordinates?
Player Coordinates show your current position in whatever dimension you're in. Dimensional Coordinates specifically show your equivalent Overworld coordinates when you're in The Nether, helping you navigate between dimensions.
Does the mod show my ping in multiplayer?
Yes, the Client Latency section displays your ping to the server in multiplayer mode only. This helps you diagnose connection issues.
How do I check if my computer is bottlenecking my game?
Enable the Client CPU Load and Client FPS sections in your HUD to monitor both processor usage and frame rate in real-time. If CPU load is consistently high while FPS is low, your processor may be the bottleneck.
Can I see how much RAM Minecraft is using?
Yes, enable the Client Memory section in the F12 options to display the total amount of memory currently in use by Minecraft.
What does the Stand-Block Chunk section show?
This section displays your position within the current chunk (a 16×16 block area), which is useful for precise building, mining, or navigation tasks.
Does EssentialGUI work in single-player?
Yes, most features work in single-player. However, multiplayer-only sections like Client Latency and Network Packets will only display when you're connected to a server.
Can I hide the HUD completely without uninstalling the mod?
Yes, you can toggle off all HUD sections individually through the F12 menu, or switch to a minimal style that displays nothing by default.
