HTK (HitsToKill)

by Qelmy

HTK shows how many hits a player needs to kill the entity they are looking at, displayed as an overlay on the screen.

FabricClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.21.11

What it does

The overlay appears only while the crosshair hovers over a player, and it reports how many strikes are needed to bring that opponent down. Players can switch the overlay on or off at any time and choose its color to suit their HUD.

An optional health bar can be shown alongside the hit count, and the display can be set to a dark or a light style. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and no player's game state changes. It requires Fabric API to run.

HTK is published for Fabric only, with a single release for Minecraft 1.21.11. The latest file, 1.0.1, was uploaded on 2026-09-19, and the first version appeared on 2026-09-09. The code is not open source; the author holds all rights.

Key features

  1. Hits-to-kill readout

    A number on screen shows the hits needed to defeat the player in view, updated as the crosshair moves.

  2. Overlay toggle and color

    The overlay can be turned on or off, and its color can be chosen from the options.

  3. Optional health bar

    A health bar can be displayed with the hit count, and it can be toggled independently.

  4. Dark and light styles

    The overlay can be drawn in a dark or a light style to match the surrounding interface.

  5. Translated interface

    Translations are available, so the mod name, description and options can appear in other languages.

Combat practice

Players training their timing can use the hit count to judge how many strikes a target takes.

Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want the hit count against other players in view. Because only the client needs the mod, it can be added to any server without server-side installation.

Questions
