Better Hitreg

by Jass

Better Hitreg is a Fabric client mod that changes how hits are registered and shown on screen, mainly for sword PvP.

FabricClient-side onlyApache License 2.0Open source1.19.4 – 26.3

What it does

The mod sends hits to the local view before the server confirms them, so a fight feels more responsive on a slow connection. Only the client needs it; servers run without it. Its source is under the Apache License 2.0, so the code is open source, and issues are tracked publicly.

Besides the hit timing, the mod bundles several utilities aimed at sword combat. Every custom hit effect is cosmetic: the appearance and sound of a hit change, while the damage and the server-side result do not. The author reports no recorded penalties from any anticheat.

Builds are published for Fabric only, across 25 release versions covering 1.19.4 – 26.3. The latest Fabric file is 1.0.8-BETA+26.3 for 26.3, on the beta channel.

Key features

  1. Earlier hit registration

    Hits are registered on the client before the server replies, which reduces the visible delay in combat.

  2. Sword PvP utilities

    A set of helper features is built around sword fights rather than general gameplay.

  3. Cosmetic hit effects

    Custom hit appearance and sound change how a hit looks and feels, but leave the actual hit untouched.

  4. Public source and issues

    The source code and issue tracker are publicly linked for players who want to report problems.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players who take part in sword PvP on servers where client-side mods are allowed, and who want faster hit feedback on their own screen.
