The Sixth Sense
by Gareyn
The Sixth Sense is a client-side HUD mod that shows on-screen warnings for nearby mobs, arrows, fireballs, TNT and raids, so a player notices threats outside the field of view.
What it does
Warnings appear as compact animated indicators near the edge of the screen. A beating heart shows that a Warden is close, and its beat speeds up and grows stronger as the Warden approaches, while an arrow turns to point toward it. Dark thorns spread inward from the edges as a Warden gets nearer and take on blood-red tips when the player's health drops. Each alert is placed automatically beside the others, and the warnings fade once the activity stops or leaves detection range.
Weapon, explosive and projectile cues cover skeletons and crossbow users, creepers, primed TNT and TNT minecarts, Ghasts and Shulkers. Charging animations follow the draw or charge progress and account for Quick Charge, a creeper's fuse builds an icon toward the blast, and a Ghast's head opens while it charges and closes after it fires. During a raid, a dedicated locator reports the closest raider it has detected, listing that raider's name, coordinates and bearing.
Each HUD element can be moved by dragging, scaled with the scroll wheel, aligned to a snapping grid, and pinned to a screen edge or the center so its place holds when the GUI scale is altered. The locator sits below boss bars by default. The Sixth Sense is client-side only, so only the client needs it. It is available on Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 1.21.10 also listed among the game versions, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Its source code is publicly available.

What the author says
The Sixth Sense turns nearby danger into small, expressive HUD animations, helping you notice threats around you—even outside your field of view. The warnings stay compact, reflect nearby activity, and fade away when that activity is no longer detected. A beating heart appears when a Warden is nearby. As it…
