Getting Started

What AdvancedHUD is and the path from an account to a HUD on screen.

AdvancedHUD has three parts that share one project format: the web editor where you design HUDs, the resource pack generator that turns a design into fonts and textures, and the Paper plugin that draws the result for each player.

The whole flow

  1. Create an account at https://advancedhud.com and confirm your email address.
  2. Create a project, then create a HUD from a template or from a blank canvas.
  3. Design in the editor. Changes save automatically.
  4. Open Servers, choose Connect Server and run the command it shows on your Minecraft server.
  5. Activate your license on the server with /advancedhud license activate <key>.
  6. Deploy the project. The server fetches it within about 20 seconds and players see the HUD.
  7. Edit the HUD and deploy again whenever you want to publish changes.

Requirements

  • Paper 1.19.4 to 1.21.8 on Java 17 or newer. Java 21 is recommended.
  • A license for each server
  • Outbound HTTPS from the server to https://advancedhud.com
  • Optional: PlaceholderAPI for third-party placeholders

Players do not install anything. They accept the server resource pack when they join.
