I found an issue with the update; at line 148 you forgot to put an "r" in registerEvent(minHUD, "onPostPlayerKill")

Whoops! How embarrassing!! I've updated the code to properly work now. Thank you!

Does this work with MrDoubleA's Yoshi playable? If not, are you planning to add compatability?

It does not. There are no plans to add compatibility as I do not know how MrDoubleA's Yoshi works, and the code is most likely too advance for me to read properly at my skill level. Maybe in the future I can add compatibility, but that won't be for a long while.

That's the Star Coin Counter. Not a Dragon Coin Counter.

Then why do the settings say "dragon coin"

Don’t know. That’s the function name that the creator made. Star Coins are better than Dragon Coins, anyways.

I apologize for the confusion, the "Dragon Coin" counter actually uses the Star Coins NPCs as they are far more versatile than the actual Dragon Coins. As for why in-code the variables are called "Dragon Coin", it's because in all of my projects I've worked on, I've reskinned Star Coins to look like Dragon Coins. That's a silly error on my part, and I'll edit and update the code later today so that future users of the Minimalist HUD don't get confused.

Sorry!

Its alright, i actually ended up doing the same thing in my project after i found that out lol. The demo's out for the project i was working on with it if you wanna check it out.

Been using this with New Great Castle Adventure with livesAltStyle set to 2 for the infinite lives + death counter. It works really nicely with that episode's structure! Also combined it with customReserve.lua by commenting out code in minHUD that related to drawing the graphics for the item reserve. The end result is something that's pretty close to a couple of modern Mario World hacks that use a similar HUD that instantly give the player the powerup when they press Select while also giving me another Item Reserve slot to play with SMBX's larger powerup count. Will probably be using this in any Episodes/Levels I release!

My only personal request/question is if anybody would be familiar with how to modify the code so the death counter total is subtracted from if the player collects a 1-up/obtains a life through another method (like 100 coins). I think this would allow 1-up Mushrooms to still have a nice purpose in Episodes that feature a life system since otherwise 1-Ups that are placed inside the levels are functionally useless with this feature enabled (such as New Great Castle Adventure's Goomba Grounds - there's a small Koopa shell section that rewards a 1-Up there).

It would allow a player to 'clean up' previous deaths if they so desired after beating an Episode (or they can start a new save file in the same Episode and do it that way). I'm not sure how SMBX calculates adding/subtracting lives and if this can be printed/saved to the overall death count.

I'm sure this is possible, but it wouldn't be very simple (at least for someone who's pretty new to coding such as myself). I could look into this in the distant future if you would like me to, however I do have quite a bit on my plate at the moment so it wouldn't be for a while.
I'm glad you're enjoying the Minimalist HUD! Thank you for using it!
