Player Hurt Sound
by yzqdev
Player Hurt Sound adds floating damage numbers, a red glowing screen and hurt effects that play when the player takes damage or hits a mob.
What it does
When the player is struck, a red glowing overlay appears on the screen, and damage taken is shown as floating numbers above the attacker. Player hit monsters also display floating damage numbers, so each hit can be read as it lands. The visual effects are meant to make damage feel personal, for example when a husk hits the player.
The effects can be tuned through the mod's configuration settings, and the pictures on the project page show how the overlay and numbers look in play. Installation is simple: Player Hurt Sound is client-side only, so only the player's game needs it and a server does not.
Builds cover Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 26.1.2 and 26.3, with Forge limited to 1.20.1. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Floating damage numbers
Damage dealt to monsters and animals appears as floating numbers near the target, so the result of each hit is visible.
Red glowing hurt screen
When the player takes damage, the screen turns red and glows briefly, marking the hit without a text message.
Configurable effects
The strength and presence of the hurt effects can be adjusted in the mod's settings.
Personal damage feedback
Hits taken from attackers such as a husk are shown with the same overlay, so the player feels the damage directly.

Use cases
Combat readability
Players who want to see how much damage a fight costs can read the floating numbers during battles with mobs.
Immersive play
Players who prefer stronger feedback on hits can keep the red overlay and tune it to their taste.
Who it’s for: Players who want clearer feedback when they take damage or hit mobs. The mod runs on the client, so it is installed by players and not required on servers.
