Brush Client
With Brush Client, players on Fabric get a set of client-side PvP quality-of-life tweaks such as a block overlay and a scaled totem pop animation.
What it does
Brush Client runs only on the player's side, so a server does not need it and players can join a server without installing it. Its feature set centers on combat visuals and a few cosmetic and asset tools that change how the game looks and feels while playing.
The mod depends on Fabric API, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL). Those three are required and must be installed next to Brush Client. Files are published for Fabric only, covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 across eight release versions, and the latest build, 1.4.8, targets 1.21.1 and was released on 2024-08-28.
Key features
Block overlay
A block overlay highlights the block the player is looking at, giving a clearer view during fights and building.
Totem pop scale
The size of the totem pop animation can be adjusted, so the effect fits the player's preference.
Asset manager
A built-in assets manager lets players handle the textures and resources the client loads.
Additional visual tweaks
Smaller cosmetic options, including a black pig and a piglet variant, change how certain mobs appear on screen.

How it compares
Useful Brush is released under the MIT License, works for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 and runs on both client and server, so it needs installation on each side. HitColor Mod - NEW is client-side only, targets 1.19.2 – 1.21.11 and is not open source, with its license reserved to its authors. Custom Totem Pop Animation is client-side only, released under the MIT License and covers 1.19.4 – 1.20.4, which makes it an older option for the totem animation.
