Vivid Interface Designer Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Where do I write my HUD scripts and tags?
HUD scripts are written in the mod's configuration files, typically located in your config folder. You can use simple text tags like {fps} for quick displays, or write longer scripts in the built-in scripting language or JavaScript depending on your needs.
How do I display my FPS counter?
Add the tag {fps} to your HUD configuration file and position it wherever you want on screen using coordinate values. The mod will automatically pull your current frame rate and update it in real-time.
Can I use JavaScript in my HUD scripts?
Yes, the mod supports JavaScript for writing math formulas, custom logic, and complex calculations. This is useful if you want to create conditional displays or perform calculations that the built-in scripting language doesn't handle.
What's the difference between the built-in scripting language and JavaScript?
The built-in language is simpler and faster for basic tasks like displaying text and stats, while JavaScript gives you access to math functions, custom methods, and more complex logic. Use the built-in language for quick setups and JavaScript when you need advanced features.
How do I display item textures and hotbar status?
Use the mod's texture and hotbar tags in your configuration to reference item textures and display hotbar status bars. You can position these elements anywhere on your screen using coordinate values, similar to text displays.
Can I create multiple HUD elements at once?
Yes, you can add multiple tags and scripts to your configuration file to display several elements simultaneously—like an FPS counter, health bar, hunger bar, and custom icons all at the same time.
Will this mod affect my performance or FPS?
The mod is designed to be lightweight, but complex JavaScript calculations or many on-screen elements may have a minor impact depending on your system. Start with simple tags and add complexity gradually to monitor performance.
How do I position elements exactly where I want them on screen?
Use coordinate values in your configuration to set the X and Y position of each HUD element. Most elements support pixel-based positioning, allowing you to place them anywhere in your viewport.
What game information can I display with simple tags?
Simple tags let you display real-time stats like frame rate, coordinates, health, hunger, and other live game data. Check the mod's tag documentation in your config folder for a full list of available tags.
Does this mod work with other HUD mods?
Compatibility depends on how other mods render their interfaces; conflicts can occur if multiple mods try to control the same screen space. Test your mod combination and adjust HUD positions if elements overlap.
