How to View Stream Chat in Screen HUD Mode

Using the Screen HUD Layout

If you do not want messages floating in the 3D environment where they can be obstructed by blocks or terrain, you can use the screen HUD mode.

• Corner Display: Screen HUD mode positions incoming chat messages neatly in the corner of your screen instead of placing them as physical cards in the world.
• Menu Visibility: Unlike standard world elements, the screen HUD mode keeps your stream chat visible even while you are browsing your player inventory, opening chests, or using crafting tables.

Checking Emotes and Badges in the HUD

The screen overlay preserves all viewer identifiers:

• Custom emotes and stickers from Twitch, 7TV, Kick, and YouTube render directly in the HUD lines.
• Platform role badges appear beside usernames, allowing you to instantly identify subs, VIPs, and moderators without checking a second monitor.
• To verify your screen corner layout before going live, type /streamchat test <message> in chat to send a preview message to your HUD.
