How to Use Mobile HUDs With Pocket Computers and Ender Modems

Understanding Modem Range Limits

When linking your HUD Glasses to a stationary HUD Modem at your base, your display only stays active while you remain within range. This distance is governed by the maxRangeBlocks configuration setting, which sets the maximum block distance allowed between the player and the modem. If you want to explore far from home without raising maxRangeBlocks in the configuration, you can switch to a portable setup.

Upgrading Pocket Computers for Unlimited Travel

You can upgrade pocket computers with HUD functionality so you can carry your custom interfaces anywhere in your inventory. Because the pocket computer travels with you, local tools like speedometers or coordinate displays never lose connection.

If you still need live base data across long distances or in other dimensions like the Nether or End, you can combine the upgrade with an ender modem into a single pocket upgrade. This combined pocket upgrade enables cross-dimension connections while keeping your display completely wearable. If the crafting recipe for the combined upgrade does not work in your world, check the mod configuration to ensure allowPocketHudEnderCraft is active.
