Hit Hud
by duv14
Hit Hud shows a 20-second combat timer at the top of the screen, starting whenever a player hits or is hit by another player.
What it does
Each time a player hits another player, or takes a hit from one, a countdown appears at the top of the screen with the opponent's name. Landing another hit before the timer runs out resets it to a fresh 20 seconds with the new name, so the display tracks the current fight. Hits on mobs and other non-player entities never start it.
The HUD slides in from the top and fades out with smooth animations, and the countdown updates once per second. The mod is a Fabric client-side only mod, so only the client needs it and the server runs without it. It works with no configuration to set up after installation.
Hit Hud is built for Fabric and targets 1.21.11 only, with the latest file 1.0.2 for 1.21.11 dated 2026-08-15. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its primary category is Game mechanics, with Utility as a secondary one.
