Aggro Indicator
by Raverbury
With Aggro Indicator, mobs that have picked the player as their target show an alert icon above their heads, so the player can see who is aggressive before engaging.
What it does
The mod draws an alert icon above any mob that is aggroing onto the player. The icon's position can be shifted on both axes, its style and color can be changed, and it can be set to disappear after a few seconds. A blacklist lets a server or a player exclude specific mobs from the indicator.
An alert sound plays when a mob starts targeting the player, in the manner of the Metal Gear Solid series. The sound is credited to djlprojects and is released under Creative Commons 0. Icons stay hidden while the mob is invisible or while the player has blindness or darkness.
The indicator works on any mob that uses the Mob target property or whose brain uses the ATTACK_TARGET memory module, and goat behavior is handled through dedicated mixins so mobs that reuse those behaviors also show it. Fabric API is required on Fabric. The mod runs on client and server, and files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.16.5 – 26.2. It is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Adjustable icon position
The horizontal and vertical offsets of the alert icon can be set, so it sits clear of other overlays.
Icon style and color
The alert icon's style and color can be changed to suit the resource pack or the player's preference.
Timed icon removal
Icons can be made to disappear after a couple of seconds instead of staying above the mob.
Targeting alert sound
A sound plays when a mob targets the player, using a Metal Gear Solid-style alert effect.
Mob blacklist
A blacklist, applied on both client and server, excludes chosen mobs from showing the indicator.

How it compares
Shield Indicator is a client-side only mod under the MIT License, published only for 1.21.1, so it covers a single version. Player Health Indicators is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, published for Fabric for 1.16 – 1.21. Aggro Indicator is a client and server mod, so both sides need it, and it targets mobs rather than the player's own status.
