The HUD (Heads Up Display) is a vital mechanic in video games, providing important information directly on the screen.

The HUD

The HUD in monitors the player's Oxygen, Hunger, Thirst, and Health. It also monitors the player's Temperature in Subnautica: Below Zero The full set is only present in survival and hardcore. In freedom, only health and oxygen are displayed. In Creative, none of these are present.

When the PDA is opened, the HUD will display numerical values in place of the icons, allowing players to track the exact amount of hunger they will gain from food, and how long they have until they must eat or drink.

At the top of the HUD, the Depth Meter is displayed. If a Compass is equipped, it will be displayed directly below the Depth Meter.

Pressing F6 allows the player to remove elements of the HUD, pressing it several times will remove more elements.

The Toolbar

The Toolbar is located in the bottom section of the HUD. Players may select which items are to be accessed via the Toolbar. There are five slots to use.
