Damage Indicator
by GoddessWynn
Damage Indicator shows, in the HUD and in item tooltips, the damage a weapon deals, including Spear Charge and Mace Smash values for Fabric players on 1.21.11.
What it does
Damage Indicator adds damage tooltips to swords, axes, bows, tridents, crossbows, maces and spears, and a constant HUD screen that lists the same figures while the player plays. The HUD also covers damage from Spear charge and Mace smash, and armor reduction appears in the armor tooltip while the armor is worn. Enchantments that change damage are broken down in the detail view, so the effect of each enchantment can be read separately.
Commands let the player calculate Spear charge and Mace smash damage directly and adjust the display through a configuration. The mod is built for Fabric and is published only for 1.21.11, with the 0.2.0 build as the latest file on the beta channel. It is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can join without installing it. Snapshot builds are not covered, and April Fools versions are excluded from its planned scope.
