HitRangeBox

by rorykl

HitRangeBox draws a visible box around nearby players so the reach a hit needs is easier to judge on the client.

What it does

The mod shows a box around each player who is close enough to be hit from the current position, which makes it clearer when a look angle still lands an attack. Only the client needs it, so players install it alone and servers do not run it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, with 1.0.1 as the latest build from 2026-05-27, under All rights reserved and not open source. Fabric API is required.

Key features

  1. Hit range outline

    A box is drawn around players within attack reach, showing where a hit would connect.

  2. Angle check

    Players near the crosshair can be seen against the reach area, so the correct look direction is easier to find.

  3. Visual aid for hits

    The outline gives a visual cue for landing a hit on another player during combat.

Questions

Does HitRangeBox need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed next to HitRangeBox.

Does the server need HitRangeBox?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.
