Skill Issue

The mod watches for situations that can end a run quickly: health dropping to four hearts, food dropping to four drumsticks, a fall from a high place, or stepping into lava without fire protection. When one of these happens, the screen is tinted with a color tied to that issue, and where several are active, the color of the most urgent one is shown. Current issues are listed on a separate screen, with details for each one. Six situations are covered in total, and more issues are planned.

Players choose which issues to see from a menu that opens with a default key, and the mod also covers offhand items such as a totem or a shield, along with food shown on the hotbar. Because it runs only on the player's client, a server can run without it. Skill Issue requires Fabric Language Kotlin and is published for Fabric only, with a single game version, 1.21, and the latest file 0.4.0 for 1.21, dated 2024-07-10 on the alpha channel. The license is custom, so the code is not open source, though the source is publicly available.

The author describes the mod as a hobby project that is still under development, and its scope may change as work continues.
