HitRangeActivity
by 1colvsth_
HitRangeActivity is a Fabric client mod that changes how hits, reach and combat feedback appear on screen, with optional visual and sound adjustments for PvP.
What it does
Visual changes are shown only on the client. Armor on a target can fade as it takes damage, so a player can see how worn another opponent is. Range rendering draws the reach ring and hitbox, and the crosshair turns red when an enemy is within reach. Particles and armor damage animations can be hidden to keep the view clear during a fight. Every color is set through a hex color menu.
The mod also addresses hit registration. A connection alert warns in chat when the server is lagging or when phantom hits appear because of desync with other players. Impact sounds can be muted for other players, and an older impact sound style can be enabled instead. Hit detection changes affect only what is displayed; the mod does not bypass server-side reach limits. Fabric API is required. The mod is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, is not open source, and is published for 1.21.8 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.3+1.21.11 for 1.21.11 as the latest file.
