Spear Damage Indicator
by Moubarack
Spear Damage Indicator is a client-side display that shows the damage a spear charge attack would deal, updated live under the crosshair as the player charges.
What it does
While a player holds a spear and charges an attack, the number above the crosshair rises with the charge speed, matching the damage a real hit would deal. The value can be checked before the attack is committed. When a player tops their stored charge, a gold marker is shown above the crosshair along with a totem sound, and the record is kept between sessions for each world.
The mod is installed on the client only, so players join vanilla servers without any server-side install. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with Fabric API needed on Fabric. Files cover game versions 1.21.11 – 26.3 and include two commands that stay on the client and never reach the server. The mod is licensed under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

What the author says
Spear Damage Indicator shows the damage of your spear charge attack live under the crosshair, while you charge it. The number rises with your speed, exactly like the real hit does, so you can see what your charge is worth before you commit to it. It is fully client-side: nothing to install on the server, and it works…
