B4's Pre-Damage Indicator
by imB4
B4's Pre-Damage Indicator shows, before a hit lands, how much damage the player's attack will deal to the entity under the crosshair.
What it does
While the player looks at a living entity, the indicator displays the damage the next attack would deal. Because the figure appears in advance, a player can judge whether one hit or several will kill the target, or whether a totem of undying will be needed. The indicator works with vanilla weapons, including the off-hand, and with one-handed tools.
The mod runs on the client only, so a server does not need it and players can join a server without installing it. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric with files covering 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, the latest being 1.2-snapshot_7+1.21.11 for 1.21.11, released 2026-07-08. Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are required.
Key features
Pre-hit damage display
The amount of damage a weapon will deal is shown while an entity is targeted, before the attack is made.
Kill and totem awareness
A single hit that would kill the targeted entity, or one that would make a totem of undying necessary, gets shown on the display.
Vanilla weapon support
The indicator reads vanilla weapons, including those held in the off-hand, and works with one-handed gear.
