This Minecraft mod lets you customize Java Edition's F3 debug screen

In Minecraft Java Edition, players can press the F3 button on their keyboard to bring up a debug screen. This screen shows player-related details, like their coordinates, the light level of the block they are standing on, the biome they are in, the direction they are facing, etc. It also shows the major specifications of the device the game is running on and how much resource the game is consuming.

However, it is safe to say that the traditional F3 debug screen is extremely cluttered, making it difficult for most players to see desired information at a glance. This is where the mod called BetterF3 comes into play, making the debug screen visually uncluttered. Here is everything to know about the mod.

In simple terms, the BetterF3 mod makes all the information on the debug screen more compact and color codes them for better visibility. Moreover, it offers a lot of customizations, so much so that players can disable and enable every single line of information shown on the debug screen.

To best customize the debug screen using the BetterF3 mod, players must also install the Mod Menu mod, which allows them to tinker with settings offered by every mod.

In the picture provided above, players can see that the information shown on the debug screen can be enabled or disabled. More technical information like block state, targeted block, etc., can be removed if players want simpler F3 information.

The mod offers so much customization that every detail can be altered. For example, players can even change the color of each axe number that shows up as coordinates.
