Threat Spectrum
by Hesherovich
Threat Spectrum shows, on the player's screen, how dangerous each nearby monster is compared with the player's current stats, using colored markers above threatening creatures.
What it does
On each tick the client compares nearby monsters against the player's own attributes, equipment and active status effects. The result is turned into a danger level, and creatures judged dangerous get a custom colored marker above their heads. Markers that would be visible through solid blocks are hidden, so the display does not reveal enemies behind walls and keeps the game fair.
The analysis happens only on the client, so a server does not need the mod and players can join without installing it. Thresholds and display options can be adjusted through the built-in commands and interface settings, for players who want a more precise threat analysis or a different look. The interface is translated automatically into several languages and the mod is tuned to work alongside other modifications.

Key features
Danger level for nearby monsters
Monsters near the player are scored against the player's stats, gear and status effects, so the level changes as the situation does.
Colored threat markers
Creatures judged dangerous are marked with custom colors above them, giving an at-a-glance warning during fights.
Hidden behind solid blocks
Markers are hidden when a solid block stands between the player and the creature, so the display does not expose enemies through walls.

Built-in commands and interface options let players change how threats are analyzed and shown.
