Summary

Replaces the standard HUD UI with a new experience. Collapses all of the main UI elements into a modern set of elements. Below are labled images of the various HUD elements. Other sections detail settings for the mod, configured using the config/minimalmodern.toml or config/minimalmodern-client.toml files.

Forge & NeoForge
Previously Minimal Modern HUD was a Forge loader mod. As of Minecraft version 1.21.X, I have converted the mod to be a NeoForge loader mod. I do NOT have any plans to create any further versions using Forge, nor do I have any current plans to port to other mod loaders.

Forge versions - I have recommended the use of another mod called AutoHUD (details listed below).
NeoForge versions - I have recreated most of the recomened features that AutoHUD provided directly into Minimal Modern HUD. I now recommend NOT using it in conjuction with this mod, at this time. In future development, I plan to make my mod play nice with AutoHUD again, but not all 1.21.x versions exists.
Other versions: I will be releasing the other NeoForge versions for Minecraft versions 1.21.X soon. I will start with 1.21.1 and move up to 1.21.8 or beyond.

Key Binds

Additionally adds 3 new key binds to make navigating the smaller hotbar easier. Each set the player's active slot if the conditions are met.

Find Melee Weapon: Finds the first melee weapon (sword, axe, trident) in the hotbar if none is equipped, or finds the next weapon if another is present.
Find Ranged Weapon: Finds the first ranged weapon in the hotbar (bow, crossbow) in the hotbar if none is equipped, or finds the next weapon if another is present.
Find Tool: Based on the block the player is looking at, finds the correct tool for mining that block, if one is present in the hotbar.

Forge - AutoHud: The forge versions of this mod require [Auto HUD](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/auto-hud) for the full recommended experience.
This allows for hiding and toggling the hotbar and other UI elements.
Change that mod's setting: hotbar.onChange to false, and hotbar onSlotChange to false.

NeoForge - AutoHud : The NeoForge versions are NOT compatible with AutoHud, and should NOT be used in conjuction at this time. I have recreated most of the recomened features that AutoHUD provided directly into Minimal Modern HUD.

AutoHud configuration: the other UI elements need to have their "policy" values set to "Disabled. The following values need updated: health, hunger, air, armor, mountHealth. Below is my Auto HUD config file (autohud.json5). This is found in your instance's "/config" folder. Within the game you can optionally bind a key for toggling the hotbar.
