Vanishing Survival HUD Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the mod after installing it?
The mod is active by default once installed. Open your in-game settings menu (usually accessible from the pause screen or through a keybind) to find Vanishing Survival HUD options and adjust behavior to your preference.
Why is my health bar still visible when I'm not taking damage?
Check your settings menu for the inactivity timeout duration and transparency level for inactive UI. You may have set the fade time very long, or the health bar opacity too high—lower both values to make it disappear faster.
Can I make the hunger meter only show when I'm actually hungry?
Yes, use the custom hunger percentage trigger option in settings to set a threshold (for example, only display when hunger drops below a certain level). This prevents the meter from appearing during normal exploration.
Does the mod work with other HUD mods?
Compatibility depends on how other mods modify the HUD. If another mod also controls interface visibility or positioning, they may conflict; test by disabling other HUD mods one at a time to identify issues.
What happens to my HUD when I open my inventory?
The mod keeps all core survival stats (health, hunger, armor, XP) visible at full opacity while your inventory is open, then resumes fading rules once you close it.
How do I stop item tooltips from popping up when I switch hotbar slots?
Open the in-game settings menu and enable the option to hide held item popup tooltips. This will prevent the item name and description from appearing when you change slots.
Can I set different fade speeds for different UI elements?
The mod uses a single inactivity timeout for all elements, but you can set individual transparency levels for each component (hotbar, health bar, hunger meter, armor, XP, status effects) so some fade more visibly than others.
Does the mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is lightweight and should not noticeably impact performance; it only controls visibility and opacity of existing HUD elements rather than adding new rendering overhead.
Why did my HUD suddenly reappear while I was standing still?
The mod reactivates UI elements whenever you interact with something (open a menu, switch items, take damage, eat, etc.), even if you haven't moved. Check your recent actions to see what triggered the display.
How do I make the health bar stay visible during combat without adjusting it every time?
Use the custom health percentage trigger in settings to set a threshold where the health bar always displays when your health drops below that level, so it automatically shows during danger.
