Just a placeholder for now, kinda late and I don't feel like writing a huge topic post.

Original Post

please read the FAQ before posting or sending me a pm!

DO NOT ASK FOR UPDATES! It is against the rules. I am working on the update. I don't know when it's done.

Advanced Hud will let you personalize your heads-up display. It is a mod that is entirely focused on esthetics and customizability while not adding or changing any game mechanics. Every hud item has its own menu with it's own set of parameters allowing you to set each hud item as you see fit. One of the key features of the mod is that you can reposition the hud items to anywhere on the screen. On top of that Advanced Hud adds 3 new hud items: a lightmeter, a minimap (beta) and a death counter (for livestreaming, etc) and it is ever expanding with new features being added every update. The writer of this page just blatantly copied the description from the advanced hud topic and was to lazy to even read what it said. Shame on him.
To use the mod press H (default) to open the HUD menu

read this before posting or sending me a pm

Q1: Your mod does not work on my computer, it crashes the game or it won't show the settings menu.
A: Please check how to install the mod again (and use multiMC this time, no really).
Try removing other mods that change stuff to the hud.
Report the crash (with log) or incompatibility (also check the notes in the incompatibilities section) in this topic.
Please keep in mind that there's nothing that can tick me off more than someone saying the mod doesn't work and not providing any other information (in short).

Q2: Is it possible to mod the hud from mod X/Y
A: No, the way java works and (to my knowledge) the lack of a decent hud api means that adding hud items from other mods is a lot of effort for little reward.

Q3: Can you make the inventory screen movable
A: No, this mod is strictly HUD only. Making the inventory screen movable will add a lot of incompatibilities.

Q4: Can I add your mod to my modpack?
A: I do not allow my mod in modpacks, because modpacks take time update all the mods in them. This will create a backlog where people will ask about problems in old versions, while those versions are no longer supported. And I'm not willing to waste my time fixing problems with older versions of the mod or having to take another step asking people what version of the mod they have. EDIT: No means no, asking your users not to ask for help with older versions is not how the internet works. Could you please stop messaging me.

Q5: Does your mod work in multiplayer?
A: Everything that is changed is pure client side, so yes.

Advanced Hud 4.8.1 for Minecraft 1.4.6 & 1.4.7
- Added the item tooltips hud item. I've applied my own coding to this one, so it's not the exact same as Mojang's; It won't appear every time the item takes damage and it will use the item's rarity color.
- Added a scroll bar to the settings menu as the mod now has 16 hud items which can't fit in a 3 * 5 grid anymore.

you can find older versions in version history below.

I strongly recommend you use multiMC for installing mods
- Install modloader or forge (forge 3.3.7 and up)
- place the advancedHUD zip file in the mods folder (make the folder if it's not there).

Note: this list is old. The mods listed here might not be incompatible anymore.
- The thirst mod - disables Advanced HUD when installed
- CJB's mods - disables Advanced HUD when installed
- VR-ChatMod v062 - causes a crash when you click a link in the chat.
- More Health Enhanced - Overwrites base classes.
- What's my Light Level - Overwrites base classes, while it should be using a modloader hook.
- Village Info - Overwrites base classes, while it should be using a modloader hook.
- Rei's minimap - place the Rei's minimap zip file in the mods folder. Don't install it in the jar.

Mods that change the hud are highly likely to be incompatible with this mod.
If you find any conflicts with the current version and other mods, that are not on this list, please report them in this thread.

v4.8 for Minecraft 1.4.6
v4.8 for Minecraft 1.4.5
v4.8 for Minecraft 1.4.2
- The rotate functionality has been reintroduced (it had been removed in 4.8dev1 because of reworked internals), certain hud items can be rotated 90 degrees.
- Along with the above, hud items can also be mirrored.
- The item bar will also mirror when vertical to accommodate some texturepacks.
- Fade thresholds have been added for the health and hunger bar. It's a bit vague, I know, I haven't added the tooltip yet. When the hud item's value is below that threshold, the hud item will not fade.
- Updated the crosshairs. I removed some that I didn't like, I added some I did like.
- Tweaked the header a bit.
- Tweaked the profile manager a bit.
- Fixed an issue with the crosshair resetting to the top left of the screen when reading from an old save format.

- the survival hud won't be rendered in creative.
- fixed a render issue in the lightmeter causing it to blend with the music overlay.

v4.8dev1 for minecraft 1.4.5
- the lightmeter is back, it was disabled when the client and server merged in 1.3.2 and the code didn't work anymore.
- added the death counter. It is intended for live streamers and youtubers.
- some MAJOR reworking of the mods internals. Rendering and logic has been split. You won't notice any of this apart from the buttons changing when you switch styles.
- the solidbar1 and solidbar2 have been merged together to form a very very sexy resizable hud bar.
- the music overlay has been advancedhudified.
- the default xp bar can be resized.
- the debug screen can be color coded.

v4.7.1 for Minecraft 1.3.1
- Fixed an annoying bug where any fade option would not stay on after starting the game or loading a profile.
- Fixed the update notifier.

v4.7 for Minecraft 1.3.1
- The lightlevel meter had been disabled, because the light mechanics have been changed (Skylight will never go below 15 outside). And will return once I figure out how mojang has coded this. (I think it's a server merged with client thing)

v4.6 for minecraft 1.2.5
- swapped out the saving mechanism for a system based on NBTTagCompounds (yes, all your profiles are invalid again, I'm evil like that).
- fixed the IndexOutOfBoundsException for the chat, hopefully it works this time around. I can't recreate the crash so I can't be sure.

- added a couple more crosshairs.

v4.5 for minecraft 1.2.5
- Fixed the breathbar not fading properly.
- Fixed the chat sometimes causing a crash when clicking a link, hopefully it works now.
- Added the lightlevel meter. It will tell you if a monster can spawn at the spot you're standing on.
- Reworked some of the internal rendering stuff.
- Added T10a's crosshair.
- Added a number to the 'enable/disable hud items' button to show you how many hud items are hidden.

v4.4 for minecraft 1.2.5

- changed the way you select your crosshair (shout out to my buddy )
- added an update checker, he will tell you when you should update (with a smile)
- rewrote how the fading is done internally.
- fixed a bug where hud items would be misaligned if you'd reset them in the reposition screen. (kudos to Unspec7)
- fixed a bug where hud items would not 'tick' when a menu is open (bunkaz92)

v4.2 for minecraft 1.2.5
- advanced HUD now initializes when you load up minecraft. With the way it used to be (init when you entered a world) it would miss some welcome messages.
- fix debug screen not loading it's properties like you'd expect.
- changed the way the mod handles chat messages. it's a bit more of a hack, but it should allow for better compatibility.

v4.1.1 for minecraft 1.2.5

v4.1 for minecraft 1.2.5
- added the player list in multiplayer
- fixed a tiny issue with the vignette
- fixed the full width xp bar not fading out
- fixed the saving issues on macs, not 100% sure though, I don't own a mac (could someone please confirm this one?)

v4.0 for minecraft 1.2.5
- the mod has completely been rewritten to use the modloader api.
- added a minimap ­es love minimaps (note: it's disabled by default, enable it by going to global settings > enable / disable hud items).
please note that the minimap is a work in progress, it really doesn't look like the finished product and it is not optimized enough. Please do not make suggestions for it, because either I already have it planned or I have other plans for it.
- the health, armor, food and the breath bar can now be rotated vertically.
- the item bar can now show item wear with numerical values.
- the keybinding has been moved to the keybinding menu, because that's where keybindings belong.

v3.2.2 for minecraft 1.2.3

- decreased the margins on the align to axis feature on the reposition screen.

v3.2.1 for minecraft 1.2.3

- finished the solid hunger bars by adding the hunger poison effect to it.
- finished the solid health bars by adding an effect for regeneration and an effect for poison.
- fixed a small compatibility issue with mine and blade (crash when you press R). Unfortunately I can't test this since mine and blade is still in version 0.1.4 (mc 1.1.0) so I'm not sure if it works, but it should.

v3.2 for minecraft 1.2.3
- Changed some of the buttons to toggle buttons.
- The graphs on the debug screen are now toggle-able.
- Some small tweaks here and there.

v3.1 for minecraft 1.1
- People liked the new health bar so I added them for the other bars too. I also made a alternate shorter version of them. I might add an icon on them in the future, but right now I can't, because it looks clunky.
- Removed the lag option on the crosshair, it didn't look right and I don't think a lot of people use it. I might add it again if people want it and if I can find a way to make it look good.
- Unlinked level counter to the xp bar as this caused a bug that moved the level counter to weird places.
- fixed a typo in the chat setting menu.
- the scrollbar can now be controlled by the mouse wheel.

- build from the ground up.
- Redesigned the menu so it's faster to navigate and, as a bonus, looks really cool.
- Added global settings menu for ehm... global settings.
- Added a menu for repositioning HUD elements, so you can redesign your hud without much of a hassle.
- Added a profile manager, this means you can save your HUD or switch it out for a difrent one.
- The menu key (default H) can now be set to other keys (this is saved per profile).
- Changed the way HUD elements are positioned on the screen. They now align to 1 out of 9 spaces on the screen indicated by a small cube on the reposition screen.
- the chat can now be repositioned.
- Added an alternate xp bar.
- Added 32 alternate crosshairs.
- Added a prototype alternate health bar
- Added the cardinal direction the player is looking at to the debug screen.
- Fixed the bug where enchantments looked weird on the item bar.

v2.1 for minecraft 1.0.0
the fade out, last seen in v1.5.1, has been re-implemented to the following HUD elements:
- food bar
- health bar
- armor bar
- breath bar
- xp bar (+ level counter)
- item bar
- the item bar can be rotated 90 degrees
the following bars can be set to an alternate (double) style:
- food bar
- health bar
- armor bar
- hunger bar

the issue where the mod would not save it's settings on a lot of different operating systems has been fixed.
the issue with the food bar, where it would not stop shaking, has been fixed.
the cursor has been renamed to crosshair.
the health bar for hardcore mode has been restored. Also, it will now shake again when it's below a certain amount and finally it will show the proper animation for the restoration potion.
When repositioning a HUD element you can hold Ctrl to snap to the horizontal or vertical axis.

The version number has been corrected.

v2.0 for minecraft 1.0.0
- Adaptive HUD has been renamed to Advanced HUD
- To use the mod press H to open the HUD menu
- Each HUD element can be disabled and most can be repositioned.

The versions below are from ancient times when the mod was named Adaptive HUD

v1.5.1 for minecraft 1.8.1:
- Fixed the xp, health and armor bar going haywire sometimes... hopefully.

v1.5 for minecraft 1.8.1:
- You can now Press H to open the settings menu, this will pause the game.
- Each individual HUD element can be set to either show, fade or hide.
- Sneaking will show the HUD regardless if the HUD hidden or not.
- The cursor can be set to show or hide.
- An extra item icon will show you the stack size and durability of your current item.
- The fading speed can be adjusted (slow, normal, fast, instant).
- The fading wait can be adjusted (slow, normal, fast, instant).
- The health / armor and food bars now have a smooth transition.
- The smooth transition in the xp bar has been redone, it should be more accurate and stable now.
- The render engine has been redone, items fade out properly now.
- The default minecraft hud mode has been removed. F1 will now switch between HUD on or HUD off. (default mode can be recreated in the settings menu, but I don't know why you would want default mode if you download this mod).
- As a result of the previous line, the minecraft.jar is no longer included in the mod. so +1 in comparability.

v1.4 for minecraft 1.8.1:
- HUD elements fade out now!
- Fixed some of the script being run whilst adaptive-HUD mode is off.
- The food bar now (hopefully) correctly shows updates.
- All elements now take the same amount of time to disappear.

Woo! Got my new workspace setup working, here's a download for 0.0.1

GitHub repo at: https://github.com/maxpowa/AdvancedHUD

On the repo its updated to 1.5.2, there are only a few bugs I've left to squash.

Whatever the last alpha version was.

I bought it the night before it went to beta

Quote from Klausar

I can't see anyone selling them. Adfly just gives you money, but noone loses it.

Quote from PurpleTopHat

People aren't selling mods or plugins for money.

They are putting up links that lead to ways to "donate" to modders and direct links for cheap bastardizing people like you who won't take 5 seconds to support hundreds of hours of free work.

There is a difference.

Quote from Gatling_Tech

IMO notch codes more as a hobby, while jeb actually likes minecraft and wants to see it improve.

Quote from Klausar

It'd be the best if they both work on it.

Quote from TheElm

Remember, playing it with no lag on the Xbox isn't the only advantage. You can also play 4 person split-screen, if you have friends over. Play at a bigger resolution, unless you have a big monitor already or small tv. Host your own xbox-live server while playing with friends online. And xbox live parties so you and your friends can chat without 3rd-party programs.
