Elevate your server’s immersion with a completely custom, high-fidelity status HUD (UI). Moving away from the minimalist flat icons of vanilla DayZ, this pack introduces hand-illustrated, skeuomorphic indicators that visually represent your character’s physical condition in real-time.
Key Features
Dynamic Visual Progression: Each stat is represented by five distinct stages. Watch your blood bag drain, your heart crack, or your water bottle shrivel as your condition worsens.
Immersive Aesthetic: Designed with a gritty, realistic texture that blends seamlessly into the post-apocalyptic world of Chernarus or Livonia.
High-Detail Indicators:
- Blood (IV Bag): A clear visual of your current blood volume, from a full bag to a terrifyingly empty, flat plastic sleeve.
- Hunger (The Plate): Represents food intake from a heaped portion to a bare, empty ceramic plate.
- Health (The Heart): A literal representation of your life force; a vibrant red heart that slowly cracks and turns to stone as death approaches.
- Temperature (The Thermometer): Features custom "Extreme" states, including a frosted snowflake for freezing conditions and a burning sun for hyperthermia. # Comfortable ≈ 36.2°C # Near fire / overheating → rises toward ~41°C # Freezing → drops toward ~32°C # Fever also bumps it into the high range
- Hydration (The Bottle):A realistic plastic bottle that physically crumples and empties as you succumb to thirst.
- Percentage Can be Customised: Can be Shown/Hidden. 
Why Choose This HUD? In a survival situation, information is life. This mod makes checking your stats feel like an extension of the world rather than just looking at a game UI. The color-coded transitions (from vibrant reds and blues to dull greys and browns) allow players to gauge their needs at a glance during high-stress encounters.
