Player Damage Feedback
by ringoway
Player Damage Feedback shows a floating number above a player each time that player takes damage, and the number is visible to the victim and to the attacker.
What it does
Each time a player is hurt, a damage number appears above them. The victim always sees it, and a player who lands the hit sees it too. Damage the player deals to other players is shown to the attacker as well, and the colors for dealt and taken damage can be configured.
The server reads the damage event after armor, enchantments and absorption have been applied, so the number reflects the final amount. It then sends a small packet to each player who is allowed to see the result. For the complete experience, the mod goes on both the player's client and the server.
Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file dated 2026-08-14. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Damage numbers over players
A number pops up above a player whenever that player is hurt, and only for players, not mobs or item frames.
Server-confirmed amounts
The server checks the real damage event, so the number matches what the victim actually lost rather than a client-side estimate.
Attacker and victim views
The victim always sees damage taken, and the attacker sees damage they deal to other players, which can be turned off in the config.
Configurable colors
The colors for damage taken and damage dealt are set in the config, so each side can be told apart.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Player versus player servers
Combat between players becomes easier to follow, since each hit shows its size above the target.
Hiding dealt damage
A server can turn off the attacker's view and let players see only the damage they receive.
Who it’s for: Server owners running player combat who want hit sizes shown to the people involved, and players who prefer a readout of their own damage in multiplayer.

See the damage you take, and the damage you deal to other players. A number pops up whenever a player is hurt - the victim always sees it, and if another player landed the hit, that player sees it too. Multiplayer-correct by design: the server tells each client exactly what it's allowed to see. Most damage-number…
