Highly Customizable Damage Numbers
by DevK75L
Damage indicators that float above a hit entity can be tuned in the Highly Customizable Damage Numbers config screen, including font, color, size and animation.
What it does
The mod shows the damage dealt to each entity as a floating number. Players choose the font from four bundled fonts, or add their own as PNG glyph sheets placed in a folder, and a built-in guide explains the steps in-game. Colors can be set per damage value, and a gradient and flicker styling are available, along with gap spacing between digits. The in-game preview shows how the chosen style looks before it is applied.
Animation is adjustable as well: a shake that wiggles the number, a pulse that grows and shrinks it, a pop-in on spawn, and a fade-out at the end. Each has its own enable switch, duration in ticks and intensity. A critical indicator can use a separate glyph, and the conditions for when it appears can be set, such as only with a critical font, never, or after a threshold hit. The mod is client-side only, so no server installation is needed. It is released under the Apache License 2.0, which does not make it open source. Files exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.20 – 26.2 and the latest Fabric and NeoForge file for 26.2.
Key features
Custom fonts
Four preloaded fonts ship with the mod, and any PNG font placed in the fonts folder can be loaded and reloaded in-game.
Per-value colors
Colors can be defined for different damage values, and a gradient or flicker style can be applied to the numbers.
Animation controls
Shake, pulse, pop-in and fade-out each have their own enable option, duration and intensity settings.
Critical indicator
A separate glyph marks critical strikes, with options that set under which conditions it appears.
Spacing and placement
The gap between digits and the distance from the entity can be adjusted, so indicators match a modpack's style.
