What this mod does
Better HUD adds the info you miss most in the middle of an adventure to Hytale’s interface: how much your armor has left before it breaks and how many arrows you have left. That way you don’t have to open your inventory in the middle of a fight.
What it shows
- Durability percentage for your helmet, chestplate, greaves and boots.
- Number of arrows in your inventory.
- It updates instantly when you put on, take off or damage a piece.
Customization
With /betterhud (or the /hud shortcut) you open a menu to move the elements to whichever part of the screen you prefer. The author designed it to be lightweight, not block clicks and not clutter the screen with data. It installs like any other mod; on a server, just put it in the mods folder.
Version 6.0.0 was released on August 27, 2026 for Hytale 0.6; the author hasn’t published a changelog.
This mod page was checked with Hytale 0.6 (Update 6). With Update 7 (0.7), released on October 12, 2026, the mod will need an update: don’t use it in an important world until the author releases a file tagged for the new version.
Checked on October 20, 2026: version 7.0.0 came out on October 11, 2026, one day before Update 7, and doesn’t state compatibility with Hytale 0.7. There’s no file tagged for 0.7 yet.

Common problems
Does it show weapon durability?
The description only mentions the four armor pieces and the arrow count.
Can I move the panel?
Yes. With /betterhud or /hud you open a menu to reposition the elements.
Is it compatible with other UI mods?
It uses the game's UI system and doesn't block clicks; no incompatibilities are listed, but if you use several panels, check that they don't overlap.
