FPS Counter — Horizon mod
Horizon's official FPS counter: frames per second in a screen corner, plus the slowest frame and 1% low if you want them.
FPS Counter is the Horizon team's own frame counter. It started life as a toggle in Options > Horizon Extras and became a separate native mod in 2.0.0. It does one job: a small box in a corner of your screen showing how many frames you got in the last second. Useful when you're dialing in graphics settings, testing a new shader pack, or trying to work out where the stutters come from.
Features
- Frames rendered in the last second, in a compact box.
- Your choice of screen corner.
- Optional slowest frame and 1% low over the last 5 seconds. These say more about stutter than an average ever will.
- Settings in Options > Mods > FPS Counter > Settings.
Compatibility and install
Native mod, version 2.0.0, for Minecraft 26.3. Install it from the Mods page of the instance you play, then press Build in the "Native build of …" row. Expect the first native build to download Rust and take 20–30 minutes and a few GB; rebuilds after that take minutes. If you had the counter on as an Extra, Horizon already installed the mod for you on the first start after the update, with your settings. See the install guide for screenshots of each step.
Limitations
It reads the game's own frame counter and draws on the HUD, nothing else. That also means no graph and no frame-time readout: for those, Horizon's built-in performance overlay (Advanced Graphics, Overlay group) does more. Switching the mod off in Options > Mods takes effect at once, and the next build drops it.

How to install
Find the mod in the launcher
Open the Horizon launcher, pick an instance on the left and go to its Mods page. In the Horizon tab, find "FPS Counter" and press Install.
Build the mods
In the Native build of … row press Build and confirm you trust these mods. The first build downloads Rust and takes 20–30 minutes and a few GB of disk; later builds take a couple of minutes.
Play
Play that instance — your other instances never run the mod. Turn it on and configure it in game under Options → Mods.
FAQ
How do I show FPS in Horizon?
Install FPS Counter, or use Horizon's built-in performance overlay in Advanced Graphics (Overlay group), which also shows frame times and a graph.
What does the 1% low show?
It's taken from the last 5 seconds, alongside the single slowest frame. Both are optional and switched on in Options > Mods > FPS Counter > Settings.
Can I move the counter?
Yes, you pick the screen corner in the mod's settings.
How do I install FPS Counter?
From the Horizon launcher: Mods page → find "FPS Counter" → Install. The launcher checks the SHA-256 for you. A native mod is then compiled with the Build button — the first build takes 20–30 minutes. The full steps are in "How to install" above.
Which Minecraft version does FPS Counter support?
The latest version, 2.0.0, targets Minecraft 26.3 on Horizon.
Can I download FPS Counter from this site?
Yes. Its MIT license allows redistribution, so we host the file, and its SHA-256 matches the official registry.
