breakprogresshud
by josehalo
Break Progress HUD shows a color-coded block break percentage under the crosshair while a player mines a block with either hand tool.
What it does
Under the crosshair, the mod draws the percentage of a block's break progress as it is mined. The number changes color from red through yellow to green as the block nears completion, so a player can judge the timing of a swing at a glance. The animation is smooth and runs at the same speed regardless of the frame rate, so the readout does not stutter on slower machines.
Position, color scheme and how the readout is used can be set in the mod's configuration. The author describes it as a complement to Jade's duplicate progress bar, so a player who already runs Jade can keep the block identification while the separate percentage stays in view. The mod is released for Forge 1.20.1 only, and only the client needs it, so servers do not have to install it. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source.

Use cases
Timing tool swings
A player breaking blocks by hand or with a pickaxe can see how far along each block is before the next swing.
Running next to Jade
Players who already use Jade can keep its block information while this readout shows the percentage separately.
Who it’s for: Players who break blocks often and want the break progress shown as a number on their own screen. It is a client-side addition, so a server does not need to run it.
