Combat Tell
Combat Tell shows particles over entities whenever they take damage or receive healing, so fights are easier to read.
What it does
Particles appear above an entity each time it loses health or gains it back, which makes hits and heals visible in busy fights. Which particles appear is set through particleDisplays, and the mod can be limited to chosen entities with a whitelist or blacklist. Entities are named with the namespace:mob id pattern, for example minecraft:skeleton. The mod is built for Fabric and covers 26.1 – 26.3. Its code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it.
Key features
