A survival HUD has a lot to tell you, but it doesn't have to tell you everything in the same place. Rune UI gives RuneScape: Dragonwilds players control over 27 interface elements, letting them move, resize or hide individual readouts. A circular minimap follows the camera, tracks nearby creatures and doubles as a clock, while matching rings display food, water and rest.

The extra awareness comes with tradeoffs. The minimap can reveal loaded creatures through terrain and has no exploration fog, and the creator notes a rendering cost. Installation also requires a newer experimental UE4SS build than the CurseForge app provides, with potential conflicts from other HUD mods. It's a substantial interface redesign, not just a cosmetic rearrangement.
