What it does

Nearby hostile mobs appear as head icons on a bar above the XP bar, so a player can see what is close before it arrives. Vanilla hostile mobs are supported. The icon's position reflects the direction of the mob relative to where the player is looking. Only the client needs the mod, so players can join servers without installing it. Builds cover 1.21.11 – 26.2 on Fabric and NeoForge, released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Hostile mob radar

    Hostile mobs within range are shown as heads on a bar, so creepers and others behind the player can be spotted.

  2. Direction-aware icons

    Each icon's position follows where the mob sits relative to the player's view, not just its distance.

  3. Vanilla mob support

    The display covers the vanilla hostile mobs, with no extra content needed to see them on the bar.
