ReachDisplay
by foxxey
ReachDisplay shows the real hit distance under the crosshair during player-versus-player combat, so a player can see how far away a target is.
What it does
When the crosshair sits on an entity, a small number appears beneath it giving the distance to that entity. The value is calculated from the player's eye position to the point where the line of sight meets the target hitbox, not from the target's centre. The number turns yellow when the target is within 3 blocks and red when it is beyond that, which tells the player when a hit is in range.
The number rounds down, so the farthest hit counted is 2.99 blocks away and a reading of 3.0 counts as a miss. The hitbox is treated as a square that does not rotate, which matters for corner hits and strafing. The mod is aimed at PvP training and spacing practice. It runs on the client alone and is published for Fabric only, across 13 release versions, with 1.1.1 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Distance under the crosshair
A number under the crosshair shows the distance to the entity being aimed at, updated as the player moves.
Hitbox-based measurement
The distance runs to the point where the line of sight meets the target hitbox, giving the reach a hit actually has.
Colour-coded range
The number turns yellow under 3 blocks and red over 3 blocks, showing at a glance whether a hit can land.
Rounded-down readout
Values round down, so 2.99 is the farthest counted hit and 3.0 reads as a miss, which matches the 3-block limit.

Use cases
PvP spacing practice
Players train their distance from an opponent, learning the 3-block reach by watching the colour change.
Strafing and corner hits
Because the square hitbox does not rotate, players can check how corner hits and strafing angles affect reach.
Who it’s for: Players who practise player-versus-player combat and want a live reach readout while they train.
