Damage Number Particles
by Smootheez
Damage Number Particles, a Fabric mod for the client, shows floating numbers above entities when they take damage or receive healing.
What it does
Whenever a mob, animal or player is hit or healed, a number appears over it and rises on screen. The floating numbers are rendered smoothly in real time, giving a player direct feedback on how much damage is dealt and how much healing a fight produces, which helps track combat during play.
Settings can be changed in the in-game Mod Menu or edited by hand in the config file. The display radius and the minimum damage threshold are adjustable, and an entity blacklist lets specific mobs stay without particles. Adding an entity to the blacklist uses a simple identifier format. The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
Installation requires Fabric API and Smoothiez Api. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 across 18 release versions, and the latest Fabric file, 0.0.8+1.21.11, targets 1.21.11 and was published on 2025-12-30.
