Attack Overlay
by Flowng
Attack Overlay draws a green overlay on the crosshair when a sword attack cooldown is full, to help players time their Click.
What it does
The overlay appears only while the player holds a weapon and watches the attack cooldown, so the timing cue reflects the swing being ready. Author notes describe it as a PvP aid for sword timing and aim. The mod runs on Fabric in the client-side only environment, so only the player's client needs it and servers can run without it. Its one release targets 1.19.4, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Green crosshair overlay
A green overlay is drawn on the crosshair once the attack cooldown has refilled, signalling when a swing is ready.
Weapon-held trigger
The cue shows only while a weapon is held, so it stays out of the way during building and other tasks.
Timing aid for sword PvP
The overlay is meant to sharpen click timing and aim in sword fights, and it can be switched off when not wanted.
