      This is about as simple as ComfyUI nodes get: it displays a floating-point number, and does nothing else. No inputs to tune, no logic, just a read-only window onto whatever FLOAT value is flowing through that point in your graph. You'll reach for it any time you're not sure what a value actually is mid-workflow - the output of a Loop Float node, a randomized denoise value, a CFG that's being computed somewhere upstream instead of typed in directly.

      How it works

      Wire any FLOAT output into it and it renders the number on the node itself while the workflow runs. That's the whole mechanism. The pack's broader "Show" family (there's a matching one for INT, one for STRING, one for JSON) color-codes by type so you can tell at a glance what you're looking at across a busy graph - floats read as orange in this family, distinct from the green of strings and blue of integers. Because ComfyUI recommends compatible nodes automatically when you drag a wire out into empty space, you'll often get this node suggested to you the moment you drag a loose FLOAT output - you don't have to go hunting for it in the node menu.

      The inputs and outputs that matter

      • FLOAT (default 0) - the single value it displays. Wire anything float-typed into it.
      • No outputs - it's a terminal, read-only display node, not something you chain further downstream.

      How to install it

      Via ComfyUI Manager: search Bjornulf_custom_nodes, install, restart. Manually:

      cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
      git clone https://github.com/justUmen/Bjornulf_custom_nodes
      cd Bjornulf_custom_nodes && pip install -r requirements.txt
      

      then restart ComfyUI. There's genuinely nothing this specific node needs - it's the simplest possible display node - but you're installing the whole 170-node pack and its requirements.txt regardless, since it's one repository.

      Common issues & troubleshooting

      Nothing shows up. If the node stays blank, check that something is actually connected to FLOAT - an unconnected input just shows the default of 0, which can look identical to "it's broken" at a glance.

      You accidentally tried to edit the value. This is a read-only display, not an input widget, even though it visually looks similar to one. If you want to set a float value rather than just watch one, you want a different node (a plain Float widget, or the pack's Random Float node if you want it generated).

      It's the wrong "Show" node for your value type. The pack ships separate Show nodes per type (INT, FLOAT, STRING, JSON) rather than one universal one for these specific-type nodes. If ComfyUI's drag-to-suggest didn't offer this one, you likely dragged out a non-float output - double check the type on the wire before assuming the node is broken.
