NoHurtFlash
by T1nnyman
NoHurtFlash replaces the red hurt flash that appears on entities when they take damage with a glowing outline, and the glow color can be changed with a command.
What it does
The default red overlay drawn over an entity when it is struck can be blinding, particularly when shaders are active. NoHurtFlash turns that overlay off and draws a customizable glow outline in its place, so a hit entity stays visible without the full-screen tint. The effect is optional, and the glow color is changed with the nohurtflash command.
Because the mod only changes how the client draws entities, it works with vanilla mobs and with modded entities, including those built on GeckoLib. Compatibility is listed for GeckoLib 4.8.2 and later on Forge and 4.9.2 and later on NeoForge. The author also tested it alongside other common mods. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1.
Installation needs nothing on the server. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game. The code is published under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Hurt flash replacement
The default red hurt flash is switched off, and a glowing outline marks the entity for the moment it takes damage.
Glow color command
The nohurtflash command changes the color of the outline, so players can match it to their shader pack or preference.
Optional effect
The replacement can be turned off, leaving the vanilla hurt flash in place for players who prefer it.
Modded entity support
Entities from other mods and GeckoLib-based mobs receive the same outline, with no separate setup.

How it compares
Healight is a client-side only option on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, under a custom license and not open source. Item Outlines is for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, is open source under the MIT License, and is required on the client while the server stays optional. No Red Flash is a Forge-only mod for 1.12.2 under All rights reserved, so it does not cover the 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 builds of NoHurtFlash.
