Hi everyone,
I designed a simple HUD mod based on my experience playing 7DTD on pvp servers. The vanilla HUD lacked things that I felt would be useful for people playing in groups or fighting other players. This is not by any means a professional mod, its my first mod ever, but I do plan on keeping it up-to-date. This is completely open-sourced.
Features
Compact party system that shows the stamina of all members.
Navigation system that shows degrees in increments of 15 degrees for better callouts.
Larger tool belt blocks for increased ease of use.
Simple design to provide you with information without clutter. (day, time, elevation, temperature and core temperature)
Simple KDZ info at a glance (player kills, deaths, zombies killed)
Clean XP bar with level and amount of XP left for next level.
Food and Water bar under Health and Stamina bar.
Simplified Chat Box with darker background.
Server-side friendly - does not require players to download & install this mod on their end.
How to Install
Download the repository (master Branch) and move into your Mods folder. That's it.

Credit
Utilized Sirillion's HUD modlet as a base to learn from as it modifies a lot of the HUD, thanks to them. Also received help from the modding community via Discord. Thanks to GanTheGrey for pointing me in the right direction with controllers - helped keep xp bar up-to-date. Thanks to Chaos.Blend for directing me to uTinyRipper so that I could modify the texture for the navigation into more of a fortnite navigation. If I'm missing anyone, just send me a direct message on Discord.
Here is a quick snapshot of what the HUD mod looks like.
