Revela's HUD

Revela's HUD is a lightweight, server-side mod that adds a customizable in-game HUD overlay displaying real-time player statistics.
It is designed to be informative without being intrusive, giving players constant access to helpful/informative gameplay data.

The overlay updates live as players play, fight, and move through the world -- no commands or menus required once enabled.

And YES, you can show/hide your coordinates with a simple command!

Base Command

Allows access to /overlay.

Subcommands

revela.hud.command.overlay.toggle
revela.hud.command.overlay.on

revela.hud.command.overlay.coords

Hide / Show Controls

revela.hud.command.overlay.hide

Players must have the specific subcommand permission to use it.
Granting only the base permission allows /overlay but not subcommands.

Configuration

The mod generates a hud-config.json file on first startup.

This file allows server owners to:

Change the overlay title
Add or remove stat lines
Reorder display entries
Control which stats appear

Changes take effect after a server restart.

Notes & Limitations

The HUD is rendered using Hytale’s Objective-based overlay system
A numeric column (1/1) is always displayed by the engine and cannot be removed
This is an engine limitation, not a configuration option

Compatibility

Designed for multiplayer servers
Safe to add or remove without corrupting player data
No client-side installation required
