Hit Marker
by dr.queso
Hit Marker shows a clean marker on the crosshair whenever a thrown or shot projectile strikes an entity, turning white on a hit and red on a kill.
What it does
Projectiles covered include bows, crossbows, tridents, snowballs, eggs, ender pearls and wind charges, among others. Each projectile type can be switched on or off separately, and a configurable hit marker sets the look of the crosshair feedback. Players can also hear sounds on hit and kill, with the sounds themselves configurable and kept subtle by default.
Hit Marker is client-side only, so a player can install it on a single-player world or a multiplayer client, and server owners need nothing extra. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge for the game versions 1.21.1 – 26.2, across 12 release versions, and the code is not open source, released under All rights reserved. Config options are available in game.
Key features
Crosshair hit marker
A clean marker appears on the crosshair when a projectile hits an entity, so the hit is visible without reading the health bar.
White and red feedback
A hit shows a white marker and a kill shows a red one, so the result of each shot is clear at a glance.
Per-projectile toggles
Each projectile type can be enabled or disabled on its own, for example bows without tridents.
Configurable sounds
Subtle hit and kill sounds can be changed or turned off in the configuration.

Who it’s for: Players who fight with projectiles and want clear hit feedback on their own screen, on Fabric or NeoForge.
How it compares
Projectile Camera is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, published for 1.21.11 – 26.3 on Fabric and NeoForge, so it changes the camera rather than the crosshair. JeremySeq's Damage Indicator is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, covering 1.19.2 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and shows damage numbers instead of a marker. Projectile Trajectory Preview [PTP] needs the client and leaves the server optional, is open source under the MIT License and spans 1.21 – 26.3 on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, previewing the arc before a shot.
