Re-Retro Damage Indicators

by bigenergy

Re-Retro Damage Indicators shows floating damage numbers above mobs and a retro-style HUD display when creatures are hurt or healed.

FabricNeoForgeClient required, server optionalGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.21.1 – 26.2

What it does

Damage taken and damage healed appear as numbers rendered near injured creatures, and a classic-style indicator draws particles that show how much a mob lost or regained. A portrait box with mob health, name and type can sit alongside the HUD. The indicators cover arthropods, animals, illagers, undead, bosses and other mobs, and a feature toggle in the config turns each element on or off.

The mod is a client-side visual aid. Only the client needs it, and a server can run without it, so players install it themselves and join servers that do not have it. The position, opacity, size and display options are all adjustable, and the mod works alongside creatures added by other mods. Cloth Config API is optional; when it is installed, the settings can be changed through an in-game config screen. Fabric and NeoForge builds are published, and the current Fabric file targets 26.2 with version 1.0.2, while the NeoForge file also covers 26.2.
