Threat Radar
Threat Radar puts an 80x80 pixel minimap in the top-right corner of the screen, marking hostile mobs within 32 blocks so a player sees danger before it arrives.
What it does
The radar is a small client-side HUD element that shows nearby hostile mobs as colored blips. Red marks ordinary hostiles and bright green marks creepers. The map faces upward and rotates with the player's view, so the direction a blip sits in always matches where the player is looking.
Below the radar, two lines report the threat. The first gives the distance to the nearest hostile in meters, and its color shifts to orange under 16 meters and to red under 8 meters. The second counts the creepers nearby, which helps when one specific mob type is the concern. The radar can be toggled with R, and the key is configurable. It respects the F1 key, which hides the HUD.
Threat Radar is a Fabric mod and needs Fabric API. It is client-side only, so a server does not need it installed, and it is released under the MIT License without being open source. Files exist for 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. It uses the World.getOtherEntities method and the Fabric HudRenderCallback path, and mixins handle world rendering.
Key features
Hostile mob minimap
An 80x80 pixel radar in the top-right corner plots nearby hostiles in range as dots, with a direction that tracks the player's view.
Nearest threat readout
A line under the radar shows the distance to the closest hostile, changing color as it gets nearer.
Creeper counter
A second line counts the creepers in range, so one mob type can be tracked on its own.
Toggle and HUD respect
The radar switches on and off with R, a key that can be changed, and it stays hidden when F1 hides the HUD.
