Holo Damage Indicator
by tricube
With Holo Damage Indicator, an entity that takes damage or heals shows a floating number above it, and players can shape how those numbers look.
What it does
The mod adds client-side animated indicators that appear whenever an entity takes damage or heals. Several animation presets set how the numbers move and fade, and text formatting can be adjusted, including support for color codes. Damage sources can be filtered, so only the hits a player cares about are displayed. Both health loss and healing are visualized.
Changes are made in the configuration menu, opened with the command /damageindicator or through Mod Menu when that mod is present. Forge has its own config menu. Because the mod is client-side only, only the client needs it, and servers can run without it. Holo Damage Indicator requires Craft Config Lib, Fabric API and Hologram API on Fabric, while Mod Menu is optional.
The mod is open source under the MIT License. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 20 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, with the latest Fabric file for 26.1.2.
