How to use BetterF3 Mod?
Press the debug key (F3 by default) to toggle the BetterF3 overlay on and off, just like the vanilla debug screen. From there, open the mod's config screen to choose which modules appear and how they're laid out.
How do I open the BetterF3 config screen?
Open the mod list from the main menu or pause menu, find BetterF3, and click its config button. You can also bind a key in the controls menu to open the BetterF3 settings directly in-game.
How to use BetterF3 to see fps and coordinates?
Enable the FPS and position modules in the BetterF3 config, then press F3 to show the overlay. Each module can be toggled individually, so you only see the info you actually want.
BetterF3 modules not showing up
Check that the module is enabled in the config and that its position isn't pushed off-screen by your layout settings. Some modules only display data when relevant, like the chunk or entity info, so they may be hidden until that data exists.
How do I move or rearrange BetterF3 modules on screen?
In the config screen, each module has position and alignment options you can adjust. You can place modules in different corners or stack them, and the overlay updates as you change settings.
BetterF3 Mod best settings
There's no single best setup, but most players disable modules they never read and keep FPS, coordinates, biome, and light level visible. Grouping related modules together and using a readable text color against your typical background helps most.
Does BetterF3 work on servers and multiplayer?
Yes, BetterF3 is client-side, so it works on any server without installing anything server-side. Other players won't see your overlay, and it won't affect gameplay or trigger anti-cheat.
BetterF3 Minecraft Bedrock
BetterF3 is a Java Edition mod and does not work on Bedrock Edition. Bedrock has its own debug/overlay options, but they aren't compatible with this mod.
Does BetterF3 hurt performance or cause lag?
The overlay itself is lightweight, but showing many modules or updating them frequently can add minor overhead. If you notice stutter, disable modules you don't need and reduce how often the overlay refreshes.
BetterF3 not working or overlay won't open
Make sure the mod is actually loaded for your game version and that no other mod is rebinding or blocking the debug key. If another mod also replaces the debug screen, only one will take effect, so check your mod list for conflicts.
