Auto HUD is a Minecraft mod that keeps your screen clutter-free by automatically hiding HUD elements you don’t need. Rather than relying on F1 full-hide mode, this client-side mod tucks away parts of the interface that haven’t changed—like unchanged armor, health, or hunger bars—so you get a clean view of your world until you need information again. It’s an opinionated, up-to-date rewrite of the old Head-down Display mod and draws inspiration from immersive HUD systems in other games.
With Auto HUD, you can toggle the entire interface on or off with a single keybind, then sit back as static elements quietly vanish. Status effects that linger—such as water breathing from a turtle helmet—are hidden until they expire, while active effects display remaining time so you never lose track of buffs and debuffs. Choose how hidden elements disappear with “move out,” “fade out,” or “no animation” modes, and dive into a comprehensive config menu (via Mod Menu and Cloth Config) to fine-tune exactly which parts you want visible. Whether you’re building, exploring, or fighting, Auto HUD enhances your Minecraft gameplay by giving you an uncluttered view without ever missing crucial information.
