WhoHitMe
by Ukper
WhoHitMe is a NeoForge utility that shows which entity or source dealt damage to the player, displayed on the screen as the hit happens.
What it does
When the player takes damage, WhoHitMe names the attacker on a heads-up display message, along with the type of damage received. The message covers mobs, other players, skeletons and other sources, so a hit from an unseen attacker can be traced without checking the chat log.
The mod is configurable through whohitme-client.toml and lets the player pick among several HUD styles and positions. It works alongside armor mods and includes English and Ukrainian localization. Installation requires NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1, and both the server and the client need it.
Files are published for 1.21.1 with the 1.0.0 release from 2025-09-13. The project is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Attacker name on screen
A message names the entity or player that dealt the damage, so the source is clear during the fight.
Damage type display
The damage type appears alongside the attacker name, which helps tell an arrow from a melee hit.
Configurable HUD
Several HUD styles and positions are available, and the settings live in whohitme-client.toml.
Localized messages
Messages are available in English and Ukrainian, with the language following the game setting.

Use cases
Mob ambushes
Identifying which mob struck from out of view helps a player react faster during a sudden attack in survival or hardcore worlds.
PvP fights
In player-versus-player combat, the attacker's name shows at once who landed the hit, which keeps track of a chaotic exchange clearer.
Who it’s for: Players who want to know where incoming damage comes from in survival, hardcore or PvP play. The mod suits anyone who plays on a NeoForge 1.21.1 client and wants a readable hit message.
