LethalUI
⚠️ Experimental: work in progress. This mod is still being developed and tested. It's only on Thunderstore to make testing easier (installing and updating through a mod manager). Expect bugs and changes between versions, and settings may be renamed or removed. Not recommended for regular play yet.
For now it's only made for the vanilla HUD plus NiceChat. Other mods that change or add to the HUD (health or stamina displays, extra item slots, HUD overhauls...) haven't been tested and will likely not work well with it.
A cleaner HUD: each part fades in only when it matters, then gets out of the way.
Your hotbar shows when you switch items, health shows when you get hurt, stamina shows while you sprint, and the rest of the time the screen is just the game.
Requires NiceChat, which replaces the vanilla chat.
Features
- Contextual HUD: each part fades in when something happens to it and fades out a few seconds later.
- Per-part control: every part can be Contextual, AlwaysVisible (like vanilla) or Hidden.
- HUD scale: shrink or grow the whole HUD. Each part scales toward its own screen corner, so nothing drifts into the middle of the screen.
- Edge gap: pull the HUD in towards the screen edges, or push it away.
- Smooth fades with adjustable speed, and an optional faint "hidden" opacity if you'd rather never lose the HUD completely.
What shows when
| Part | Shows when (Contextual) |
|---|---|
| Hotbar | You switch, pick up or drop items |
| Utility slot & weight (top left) | Together with the hotbar |
| Health | You take damage or heal; always while critically injured |
| Stamina | You sprint, and while you're out of breath |
| Battery | You switch to, use or charge a battery item |
| Control tips (top right) | The hints change |
While stamina is showing, health also shows faintly, so you can read both at a glance.

Compatibility
- Client-side: only you need it. Other players in the lobby don't.
- NiceChat: required. NiceChat handles the chat; LethalUI leaves it alone.
- LethalDeathCam: works together. While you're dead, LethalUI steps aside so the death camera can hide the HUD.
- Other HUD mods: not supported yet. LethalUI is currently only made for the vanilla HUD (plus NiceChat). Mods that move, fade, replace or add HUD parts (health or stamina displays, extra item slots, HUD overhauls...) haven't been tested and may fight with LethalUI over the same parts. If something looks off, try setting that part's
ModetoAlwaysVisible, or remove one of the two mods.
Installation
Install with a mod manager (Gale, r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager), or manually:
- Install BepInExPack and NiceChat.
- Put
LethalUI.dllinBepInEx/plugins/. - Optional: install LethalConfig to change settings in-game.
