QuickGlance

A sleek, minimalist HUD mod that lets you preview container contents in real time just by looking at them — no GUI opening required.

Mod hud

✨ Features

👁️ Instant Inspection: Glance at any container to instantly see what’s inside without opening it.
🌊 Fluid Animations: Smooth cubic ease-out fade-in and fade-out transitions.
🛡️ Anti-Flicker (Grace Period): A smart delay prevents the HUD from flashing or jittering when your crosshair quickly sweeps past blocks.
📦 Adaptive Container Layouts:
- Furnaces, Blast Furnaces & Smokers: Dedicated slots for fuel, input, and cooking results.
- Campfires & Soul Campfires: Compact 2×2 grid showing all 4 cooking items.
- Chests, Hoppers, Dispensers, Brewing Stands & More: Auto-scaling rows and wrapped grids for any inventory size.
🌐 Multiplayer & Server Friendly: Works seamlessly in singleplayer and uses ultra-lightweight packets when installed on servers.
🧩 Datapack Extensible: Easily add support or custom layouts for modded containers using simple JSON tags without writing code!

Customize the HUD to fit your screen and playstyle!

You can configure options in-game using:

Setting	Default	Description
Animation Duration (`animDurationMs`)	`150 ms`	Controls how fast the HUD fades in and out.
Grace Period (`gracePeriodMs`)	`100 ms`	Delay before hiding the HUD after looking away (prevents annoying flickering).
Offset X / Offset Y (`offsetX`, `offsetY`)	`14` / `22`	Adjusts HUD position relative to your crosshair for the perfect fit.

QuickGlance is fully datapack-driven. You can tag any modded container block entity to support QuickGlance layouts:
