TargetESP
by anomalith
TargetESP draws colored outlines around other players on the client, with colors that change by health and optional ghost-particle styles.
What it does
TargetESP highlights visible targets only. Players who are invisible are not shown, and anything out of line of sight is left alone, so the mod marks what a player could already see. Health-based colors shift toward green or red as a target's health changes, and eight fixed colors can replace them in the settings.
Three ESP styles are available: outline, circle and square, with a ghost mode that draws particles which fade out. Animation speed, ghost count and target filters can be adjusted. The default key Right Shift opens the settings screen, where colors, styles and other options are changed. The mod is built to stay lightweight and to avoid detection by most server rules, so it is aimed at players who want visual aid without breaking those rules.
TargetESP is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for 1.21, 1.21.1 and 1.21.11, and the latest build is 1.2.1+1.21.11 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-08-10. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it and it needs no changes on the server side.
