Reach Display

by Wolren

Reach Display shows a player's current hit distance on screen, so anyone measuring their reach during combat can read the value without a separate tool.

What it does

The display reads the distance to the entity or block the player is currently hitting and shows it in a configurable form. Three displays are available in version 2.0.0: a current hit distance, an average hit distance, and a distance to the eye of an enemy hitbox. The average can be taken over the last few hits or over the whole session, either locally or globally.

Reach Display is a client-side mod and needs Fabric API and MidnightLib on the loader it runs on. Mod Menu is optional and adds a settings screen for the displays. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.17.1 – 26.2. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, although its source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Hit distance readout

    Shows the distance of the most recent hit, so a player can check how far away a target was when the attack landed.

  2. Average hit distance

    Averages recent hits over a chosen number of attacks, or across the whole session, using local or global values.

  3. Eye and hitbox distance

    Measures the distance from the player's eye to the enemy hitbox, a different reference point from the hit distance.

  4. Configurable display

    The representation of each reading can be changed in the settings, and the Mod Menu screen exposes the options when that mod is present.

Use cases

Reach practice

Players training their reach in minigames can watch the readout after each hit to see whether they stayed in range.

Session tracking

A session average shows how the reach of a player changed over a longer fight or a run of hits.

Who it’s for: Players who take part in reach minigames or want a live readout of their hit distance during combat. Servers do not need the mod, since only the client runs it.
