Where Did They Hit Me?
Where Did They Hit Me? shows, on the HUD, which entity dealt damage and the direction it came from, drawn around the crosshair.
What it does
When a player takes damage, an indicator appears on the HUD marking the entity that hit them. An arrow is drawn around the crosshair pointing toward the entity's position at the moment of the hit, and the face of the hitting entity is drawn beside it, so the player can tell which mob or player struck and from where. The indicator is shown straight on the HUD, so it does not require the player to look around.
The indicator stays on screen for about one second in total. If a different entity hits the player during that time, the display switches to the new subject and the duration restarts, then fades out. Players who fight groups of mobs or get hit from behind can use it to identify the source without checking their surroundings. The mod is built for Fabric and needs Fabric API, and it runs on the client only, so servers do not need it.
Files cover the 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3 game versions, with 5.0.0-beta+26.3 for 26.3 as the latest Fabric file, published on 2026-09-15 on the beta channel. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The author notes a planned NeoForge port but no release for it exists yet.
