Client Projectiles
by Walksy
Client Projectiles shows predicted paths for thrown and shot projectiles on the client, before the server confirms them.
What it does
Client Projectiles draws visual predictions for ender pearls, experience bottles, splash and lingering potions, and arrows fired from a bow or crossbow. The prediction is computed on the client, so the trajectory appears without waiting for a server response. The author states that the mod improves responsiveness on high-ping connections.
The mod runs on the Fabric loader and needs WalksyLib to be installed beside it. It is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players join without installing anything. The code is open source under the MIT License. Files exist for 1.21 – 26.3, and the latest Fabric file, 1.1.1+26.3, targets 26.3 and was released on 2026-10-10.
The author notes that the mod does not change what the server does. Predictions are not applied to entities on the server, and the author says visual predictions are often corrected by the server, so the displayed path may differ from the final result. The mod does not alter gameplay or movement, and the author does not describe anti-cheat compatibility.

Who it’s for: Players on high-ping connections who want a visual preview of projectile paths. Server owners do not need to install it.
How it compares
Projectile Preview is also a client-side Fabric mod, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.21.2 – 26.3. NoSpread takes a different approach: it is a Fabric mod with a server-side environment, released under The Unlicense and built for 1.21 – 26.1.2. Arrow HUD is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.11 only and is not open source, so it is a narrower choice for a single version.
