Combat Hitboxes+

by TrueWolf

With Combat Hitboxes+, players see the hitbox of nearby mobs and players in PvP, colored by how each hit would land.

What it does

Combat Hitboxes+ is an upgrade with new PvP features added. A hitbox turns red when a hit lands, stays white for targets out of reach or under invincibility frames, and shows a light-orange outline when a blocking player is holding a shield. Projectile tracking colors ender pearls by owner: blue for the player's own, red for an enemy's, plain for others.

The weapon filter shows hitboxes only for targets while the player holds a weapon, such as a sword, axe, mace, trident, spear, bow or golden apple. Line width, outline color and a render distance limit can all be adjusted, and the mod has four tabs in its configuration screen. Mod Menu is optional and opens the config menu from the mod list. Combat Hitboxes+ requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and runs on Fabric for 1.21 – 26.3 under the Apache License 2.0; the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Smart hit colors

    Hitboxes change color according to whether the attack would land, so the result is visible before the swing connects.

  2. Projectile tracking

    Ender pearls and other projectiles are outlined by owner, so own and enemy throws are told apart on screen.

  3. Weapon filter

    Hitboxes appear only while a supported weapon is held, keeping the screen clear otherwise.

  4. Full customization

    Outline colors, line width and the render distance limit can be set in four configuration tabs.
