HitColor
by Konic
HitColor lets a player change the color and transparency of the hit effect shown on players, with a color wheel for picking the shade.
What it does
Konic's HitColor is a lightweight PvP client mod for Fabric that recolors the flash a player sees when landing a hit on another player. The color is chosen on a color wheel, and a transparency setting controls how strong the flash looks. The changes apply only on the player's own screen, so the server does not need the mod.
HitColor also adds a hit armor feature, which changes how the armor layer of a struck player is shown. Its options are stored in a configuration screen built with YetAnotherConfigLib, and Mod Menu provides the entry point to that screen. Both libraries must be installed next to HitColor, and Mod Menu is needed to open the settings from the game menu.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It is published for Fabric only, with a single build for 1.21.11. Its first release was on 2026-04-03, and the latest file, 1.0, was added on 2026-04-04. The author lists upcoming updates and notes that the project was originally ported.
