📖About Better F3 Reborn
Better F3 Reborn
A modern, feature-rich debug HUD overhaul for Minecraft 1.12.2 – bringing Better F3's clean design to the golden age of modding!
Better F3 Reborn is a faithful reconstruction of the modern debug experience, specifically optimized for the 1.12.2 modding community. It replaces the cluttered vanilla F3 screen with organized, color-coded modules and a high-performance framework.
🚀 New in Version 2.1.0+ (The Framework Update)
🏗️ Architectural Overhaul: The mod has been rewritten from a monolithic renderer into a modular framework. This ensures better performance, stability, and easier integration for other mods.
🖥️ Optimized System Info: Drastically cleaned up GPU strings. Long, cluttered information (especially on Linux/Mesa drivers and Ryzen APUs) is now intelligently shortened for a clean look.
📏 Global Scaling: Added a userScale option in the config (0.1x to 2.0x) to perfectly fit any screen resolution.
📐 Improved Spacing: New default X/Y offsets of 8 for a professional, "less cramped" appearance.
🌍 Full Localization: Complete translation support for German (de_de) and English (en_us) for all menus and keybindings.
🔌 Expanded Mod Support: Native real-time tracking for Thaumcraft, Botania, Blood Magic, and Astral Sorcery.
✨ Key Features
🎨 Clean Two-Column Layout
Left Side: Game information (coordinates, world data, entities).
Right Side: System information (Java, CPU, GPU, memory).
Smooth slide-in animations from both sides for a modern feel.
📊 Performance Graph
Real-time FPS tracking with a high-precision visual curve.
Color-coded performance indicators (Green: 60+, Yellow: 30-60, Red: <30).
Detailed Min/Avg/Max statistics.
Toggle with F3 + X or F3 + G (Locks the HUD open for monitoring).
🎮 Information Modules
Coordinates: Block position, XYZ, Chunk coordinates, Slime chunks.
World Info: Facing direction, light levels, biome colors, days played, and weather.
System Info: Java version, RAM usage, CPU/GPU details, and OpenGL version.
Targeted Block: Detailed technical info about the block you are looking at.
Server Metrics: Integrated TPS and MSPT (Milliseconds Per Tick) tracking.
⌨️ Native Keybinds
All F3-shortcuts are now registered as native Minecraft keybindings. You can rebind every toggle (Coordinates, FPS, System, Magic Modules, etc.) in the standard Controls menu!
⚙️ Configuration
Edit config/betterf3reborn.cfg or use the in-game config menu to:
Enable/disable every single module.
Customize all colors via RGB Hex format.

Change background transparency (backgroundAlpha).
📥 Installation
