Impact Frames
by FoxOfDiamond
Impact Frames flashes short screen overlays when the player lands mace or spear hits, breaks a shield, or takes any hit the player chooses to trigger.
What it does
The mod draws impact frames, short flashing sequences on the screen, when a configured event happens in combat. Triggers include mace and spear hits, shield breaks and, if enabled, any hit at all. Duration and delay between frames are adjustable, and the sprites and colors used for each frame can be changed as well.
Every setting sits in the Accessibility tab under an Impact Frames subtab. The configuration can also be opened through ModMenu, and a hotkey brings up the same menu during play. A default key toggles impact frames on and off, so a player can disable them quickly. Custom frames can be built from a provided template.
The mod is published only for Fabric, for game versions 1.21.11 – 26.2. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it. Its code is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved. A port for an older release line is planned but has not been released.
Key features
Configurable frame timing
Total sequence length in milliseconds is split evenly between the frames, and setting it to 0 turns the effect off.
Custom sprites and colors
Each frame's sprite and color can be replaced, so the overlay can match a resource pack or a personal style.
Trigger selection
Players choose which events start a sequence, from mace and spear hits and shield breaks to any hit.
Hotkeys and menus
A toggle key and a config key are both set by default, and the same options open from the Accessibility tab or ModMenu.
Custom frame template
A template lets players design their own impact frames rather than relying only on the built-in set.

Use cases
Content creators
Creators who record combat can show hits clearly on camera. The author asks that any video using the mod carry an epilepsy warning in the title or on screen.
Players who want visual feedback
Players who want a stronger signal when a hit lands can use the trigger settings to decide which combat events produce a frame.
Who it’s for: Players and content creators who want screen flashes on combat events. Because the effect can be intense, the author has placed an epilepsy warning on the mod and asks anyone sharing footage to include one.
