Fallout Enemy HUD and Mutations
by JPZamps
Fallout Enemy HUD and Mutations adds a Fallout-style target readout to Minecraft, with a stealth indicator and mutated elite enemies that appear mid-fight.
What it does
Holding an open bracket key brings up a boss-bar style readout that drops below automatically, and crouching moves the readout above the crosshair. The brackets around the target sit wide apart at a distance and tighten as the threat gets close.
Enemies can mutate during a fight. A mob that drops below half health gets a single chance to mutate, and a failed roll means it never does. Mutations pick one of eight prefixes such as Savage, Quick, Sturdy, Bloodied, Vampiric, Explosive or Relentless, each changing stats and carrying its own particle effect. Roughly 8 percent of spawns are a separate elite rank, a more durable version of an ordinary mob that wears real armour and is marked with a skull, and bosses take part as well.
The mod is built entirely from vanilla content and requires Forge or NeoForge. It is distributed for 1.20.1 – 26.3, with files for 19 release versions. Both sides need it, so the server and every player install it. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Target readout
Looking at a mob within 25 blocks shows its name at the top of the screen, above the health bar.
Stealth indicator
The indicator reads HIDDEN when nothing hostile is in range, CAUTION when hostiles are nearby but none have noticed the player, and DANGER when something is hunting the player.
Mid-fight mutations
A mob below half health gets one chance to mutate, gaining a prefix, changed stats and a signature particle, and a successful mutation fully heals it.
Elite enemy ranks
Elites are far tougher versions of ordinary mobs, with extra health and damage, marked with a skull and real armour, and rarer than mutations.
Legendary mutations
A mutation that wins a fight can gain Strength, Speed and Resistance, and its name changes to Legendary, which is rare and brutal.
