What is shared
Each player with this mod sends their exact health, stamina, Eitr, food and buffs to the others a few times a second, at any distance. Sharing/ShareMyStats switches off your own; Sharing/AllowSharing is the server's (in multiplayer its value applies to everyone), for PvP servers that want each player to see only what the game shows of players near them.
π How it works
A party panel on the right of the screen showing every player in your world.
What it shows
- Each player's Steam picture, name, health, stamina and distance, live, at any range.
- Each picture has a ring that is green, amber or red by how healthy that player is, and an arrow next to their distance points the way they are, relative to where you are looking. F8 hides or shows the panel (handy for screenshots). It hides itself while menus are open.
Settings: how many players, size, opacity, position, left or right edge, a Compact mode, and whether to show yourself, portraits, distance and the arrow. While you steer a ship the panel moves out of the way of the ship display.
- With the AICompanion mod: each player's companion shows under them (health, distance, what it is doing).

π€ Made with AI
Made with the help of Claude (Anthropic), with Claude Code: designed, written and checked together, and tried in the game.
π Changes
- 1.8.1 A new id, com.quad.partyhud (it was com.dhack.partyhud): your settings move over by themselves the first time it starts, and the old settings file is kept as a backup. Restart the game after this update. If an old copy is still installed beside it, this one stands down and says which file to delete, so the two never both run. The DLL now says it was made with AI, as Thunderstore asks.
- New: Sharing/ShareMyStats (on by default): turn it off and your game stops sending your health, stamina, Eitr, food and buffs to the other players; they then see only what the game itself shows of you nearby. Sharing/AllowSharing is decided by the server in multiplayer, so a PvP server can switch the sharing off for everyone. The panel's names and numbers are now in the game's own lettering.
- A fallen companion's row says its things are in a tombstone (they keep the gear they wore since AICompanion 0.8), not "gear in a crate".
- New: a companion's row shows its three food slots under its picture, as players' rows do (empty slots: it is hungry and does not heal).
- New: a companion's row shows a little picture of its face (AICompanion 0.3.0 takes it) instead of its initial.
- New: with the AICompanion mod installed, each player's companion shows under them in the panel: its name, health, how far away it is and which way, and what it is doing (or that it has fallen), its stamina, and its buffs (a boss power, meads). General, ShowCompanions turns it off.
- Three food slots under each player's picture show what they are eating, with a line for how long each has left (red when nearly gone). The arrow and buff icons are as in 1.5.0.
