Classic Damage Tilt(旧版受伤抖动)
by QZXiao
Classic Damage Tilt brings back the pre-1.19.4 hurt camera effect, so taking damage tilts the view the way it did in older versions.
What it does
Starting with 1.19.4, Minecraft replaced the old hurt camera effect with a screen shake that does not follow the direction of an incoming attack. Classic Damage Tilt restores the earlier behavior, in which the camera tilts toward the direction the damage came from. The screen shake is made longer, so the directional feedback stays readable for a moment after each hit.
The mod is aimed at players who miss the combat feedback of earlier Minecraft versions and want that familiar feel back. It is a lightweight optimization-category option that changes only the visual reaction to damage, and it works immediately after installation without configuration files. It can be used in single-player and on multiplayer clients alike, since it only changes how the local camera reacts.
Classic Damage Tilt is published for Fabric and Forge and targets 1.20.1 only. Both loader builds are dated 2026-03-17 at version 1.0.0. It is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is not an open source license.
