Kill Overlay
by pastfoed1
Kill Overlay shows custom text on screen whenever the player kills someone, and it can send a chat message for each kill as well.
What it does
When a kill lands, the mod displays text that the player writes in the settings, and it can combine that display with an automatic chat message. A counter tracks kills and PvP combos, and the combo resets when a player is hit or the streak is broken. Per the author, the combo only counts real players, so mob kills do not extend it.
Every part of the interface can be adjusted through a settings screen that opens with the K key, with sections for the overlay, the counter and the auto chat. The mod also exposes commands for the same options. It is client-side only, so only the player who installs it needs it, and it requires Cloth Config API alongside Fabric API.
Files are published for Fabric only, covering 26.1 – 26.1.2, and the latest build is 1.1.2 for 26.1.2. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
