Enhanced Attack Indicator

by Minenash

With Enhanced Attack Indicator, the attack indicator also tracks block breaking, drawing a bow, eating food and item cooldowns.

What it does

The mod extends the attack indicator, the cooldown display that normally appears only for melee attacks. Each action it adds has its own toggle: breaking blocks, drawing bows, crossbows and tridents, eating foods, and items with a cooldown such as shields, chorus fruit and ender pearls. Sleep progress and the fullness of shulker boxes and bundles can also appear on the indicator.

Installation needs Fabric API. The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with files covering 1.16 – 1.21.10 and Fabric API as the only required dependency. Mod Menu is optional and gives access to the settings screen. The code is under the MIT License, so it is open source, and the environment is client-side only: servers run without it.

Key features

  1. Block breaking progress

    The indicator fills while a player breaks a block, so the time left on a dig is visible at a glance.

  2. Bow and trident drawing

    Drawing a bow, crossbow or trident shows the charge on the same indicator used for weapon cooldowns.

  3. Food and cooldown items

    Eating foods and using items with a cooldown, such as shields, chorus fruit and ender pearls, show their progress on the indicator.

  4. Per-action toggles

    Each added action can be turned on or off separately, and the normal weapon cooldown priority can be changed.

  5. Tool cooldown options

    Weapon cooldowns for pickaxes, shovels and axes can each be disabled on their own.

Use cases

Timing a dig

A player mining with a pickaxe can see how far through a block the break has progressed without watching the cracks.

Tracking shield and item cooldowns

Players fighting with shields or using chorus fruit and ender pearls can see when each cooldown ends.

Who it’s for: Players who want more feedback from the attack indicator, and players who prefer a cleaner HUD can disable the actions they do not need.
