Teams HUD Plus

TeamsHUDPlus

A Minecraft mod for seamless team management and real-time teammate HUD overlays.

TeamsHUDPlus is a continuation and expansion of the original TeamsHUD and Teams mods, providing:

• Intuitive team creation and management
• Visual compass and status HUDs
• Server-enforced limits and migration helpers

_I have raised a PR for the additional features with the TeamsHUD repo and I may still archive this if they get merged upstream to reduce too many versions floating around_
