EffectTimerHUD
Never lose track of your potion timers again.
EffectTimerHUD adds a small duration label directly below each potion effect icon in your HUD — no more squinting at the effects screen mid-fight.
Features
- ⏱ Real-time duration display — shows remaining time (e.g.
1:30,45s) beneath every active potion icon - ∞ Infinite effect support — permanent effects display
∞instead of a number - 🟢🔴 Beneficial & harmful effects — both effect rows are supported, matching vanilla icon layout exactly
- ⌨ Toggle keybind — hide/show the overlay at any time (unbound by default, assign in Controls settings)
- 🪶 Lightweight & client-side — no server install needed, zero impact on performance
How it works
The timer text is rendered directly after vanilla's potion icon overlay, perfectly centered beneath each 24px icon. The layout mirrors vanilla's ordering, so the timers always line up with the correct effect.
Notes
- The toggle key is unbound by default — go to
Options → Controls → EffectTimerHUDto assign one - Duration format:
M:SSfor ≥1 minute,Xsfor under a minute
