Customizing HUD Messages Using Placeholder API

Setting Up Dynamic HUD Messages

Coords HUD Mod allows you to personalize on-screen messages using the Placeholder API. Instead of being locked to static coordinate displays, you can integrate dynamic placeholders tailored to your needs.

1. Navigate to your game or server directory and open the mod's config or database file in a standard text editor.

2. Locate the HUD message configuration section.

3. Add your desired Placeholder API tags alongside your coordinate formatting to define what appears on-screen.

4. Save the file once you have finished defining your message layout.

Verifying Placeholders In-Game

After modifying the configuration, launch or return to the game to verify that the message renders correctly on your HUD.

  • Check that dynamic placeholders resolve properly into live data rather than appearing as raw text tags.
  • If you configured player-specific placeholders, ensure that the displayed information matches the specific player's current status and coordinates.
  • Adjust the spacing and text formatting in the configuration file if the message overlaps with other HUD elements on your screen.
