Knumber
by MrSypz
Knumber is a Fabric library that provides a text particle system for displaying damage numbers, split out as a separate module from the author's earlier particle code.
What it does
Knumber handles text particles on the client, so floating damage indicators can be drawn over entities as a standalone module. The author split the module out to make the particle system easier to update on its own, and the mod is light enough to run alongside newer Minecraft builds. It is built for Fabric and runs on the client only, so players join servers without installing anything.
Required dependencies are Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu. Cloth Config API supplies the settings screen and Mod Menu gives access to it from the game menu. Fabric API is needed on every Fabric setup. Knumber is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Files cover 1.21 – 1.21.5, and the latest file, 1.0.2-1.21.5, targets 1.21.5 and was published on 2025-04-10. Dominatus : Refinement requires it.
Key features
Damage indicator
Text particles show damage values near the hit entity, drawn from the shared particle module.
Configurable settings
Options are exposed through Cloth Config and reachable from the Mod Menu screen.
Standalone particle module
The particle system is packaged on its own, so other mods can build text effects on top of it.
Dominatus integration
The damage indicator is implemented for the Dominatus mod, which depends on Knumber.

Use cases
Combat readouts
Players who want to see exact damage numbers during fights can rely on the floating text.
Modpack building
Pack makers who need a shared text particle layer can include Knumber as a dependency.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want damage numbers, and mod developers who want a ready text particle layer. Because the mod is client-side only, server owners do not need to install it for their players.
