Modernpvptweaks
by uthishsd
Modernpvptweaks gives PvP players a custom crosshair, a hit-distance readout and armor durability shown above opponents' nametags.
What it does
The mod targets player-versus-player combat. A custom crosshair shows when the aimed entity is in range, and a hit indicator reports the distance of the last successful strike. Armor durability is drawn as a HUD element above nametags, so a fighter can judge an opponent's gear without opening any screens. The three features can be toggled off individually in the options.
Modernpvptweaks is published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21, and its files cover that single game version. It runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it and players can join a server without installing anything. The code is under the MIT License and is open source, with a public source repository and issue tracker. The author notes that some servers may block or ban the armor durability display, so server rules should be checked before use.
Key features
Custom crosshair
The crosshair changes to indicate when an entity is within attack range, helping players judge reach during fights.
Last-hit distance
A readout displays how far away the most recent successful hit landed, shown on the HUD.
Opponent armor durability
Armor durability is drawn above the nametag of other players, visible without opening their inventory.
Toggleable options
Each of the three features can be switched off in the mod's options menu.

Who it’s for: Players who spend time in PvP on Fabric 1.21 and want combat information shown directly on the HUD. Server owners should check whether their rules allow the armor durability display, since some servers block it.
