HotShot

by Tater Certified

HotShot changes which entity gets credit when a flame fire aspect kill happens, so the attacker is recorded as the killer instead of the fire.

What it does

Before this fix, a fire damage death from the Flame enchantment's Fire Aspect was counted to the fire rather than the entity that dealt the blow. HotShot keeps track of the original attacker, so the kill credit, looting effects and kill achievements go to the player or entity that struck the blow. Statistics are increased correctly as a result, and looting is applied to these kills.

HotShot targets the Fabric and Quilt loaders, with files covering 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3 and 1.20.4. It is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and the server is the only side that needs the mod. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Flame kill credit

    Mobs killed by Flame Fire Aspect are credited to the attacker who landed the hit, not to the fire damage.

  2. Looting on fire kills

    Looting effects apply to kills made with Fire Aspect, which the vanilla credit handling would otherwise skip.

  3. Achievements and statistics

    Kill achievements and statistics are granted and increased for the attacker when a fire kill happens.

  4. Entity-on-entity kills

    Mobs killed by other entities with fire damage are tracked to the original attacker as well.

Questions

Does HotShot need to be installed on clients?

No. Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod.

Does HotShot change how fire damage works?

It changes only the credit for kills, so the attacker is recorded as the killer rather than the fire.

What the author says

This mod fixes entities killing other entities with flame and fire aspect not counting towards a kill for the attacker, but rather just a kill from fire damage. Players and entities that kill other entities with the fire from Flame and Fire Aspect do not get credit for these kills as the game thinks the kill is just…
