The Ancients Mod.

A richer experience — never a requirement.

A small client-side mod that draws HUDs, in-game UIs, and combat numbers right in Minecraft. It's open source, safe to audit, and locked to Ancients. The entire game works without it.

Open source — audit it yourself

Every line is on GitHub under the MIT license. Read it, build it yourself, or have someone you trust check it.

Render & UX only

It never sends gameplay actions for you. It draws HUDs and screens; the server stays fully authoritative.

Locked to Ancients

An allowlist gates it to the Ancients network — it does nothing on any other server.

Nothing is gated behind it

The whole game is fully playable without it. The mod is purely a nicer experience.

Compatibility

It's a Fabric client mod for Minecraft 1.21.11, and runs happily alongside performance mods like Sodium and Lithium. It needs the Fabric Loader + Fabric API — it is not a Lunar Client mod and won't load inside Lunar. If you already play on Fabric, you're set.

Moveable HUDs

Drag your booster, event, cooldown and stats overlays anywhere on screen and save the layout.

Gang ping markers

Ping a spot for your gang; everyone sees a clean world marker.

Mine break prediction

No mod? No problem.

The mod only changes how things are drawn. Every system it surfaces is playable from vanilla chat and menus — the game is always fully playable without installing anything.
