SlideAway 1.3 {Release}

Five new additions, all optional. Old configurations remain unchanged.

• Individual element visibility: each element has its own visibility option (auto, always shown, or always hidden), rather than one for the entire HUD.
• Reverse mode: switches the sliding mechanics such that the HUD slides out when you are safe and is hidden in combat.
• On change visibility: hidden status elements appear briefly whenever there is an update, and disappear after.
• Manual toggle: a keybinding that locks the HUD in either state of being always visible or always hidden.
• Compatibility with Tough As Nails: visibility of thirst and heat overlays is the same, provided it's installed.

SlideAway 1.3-beta Five new features, all opt-in. Existing configs are unaffected nothing changes unless you go looking for the new settings. Per-element visibility

Every HUD element hotbar, health, hunger, armor, air, XP bar, status effects now has its own setting: auto (default, same as before), always visible, or always hidden. Reverse mode

A toggle that flips the core behavior: the HUD stays visible while you're idle, and hides during combat instead of showing. Show on change

When a hidden status bar changes taking damage, hunger dropping it pops back into view for a couple of seconds before hiding again. Manual lock

A second keybind that force-locks the whole HUD visible or hidden, overriding every other setting until pressed again. Confirms with an on-screen message.

Fixed hearts and hotbar overlapping when reverse mode was enabled with multiple elements set to always visible Fixed the HUD briefly flickering back into view for a moment after manually locking it hidden, if a status bar had just changed
