XP: Epic Damage Indicator
by HER0XP
XP: Epic Damage Indicator shows the damage a player deals as animated numbers that appear above the struck entity, with several styles to choose from.
What it does
Each hit a player lands produces a floating number above the target. The mod ships with more than five animated styles, and each one moves the numbers differently. A configuration file selects which style is active, so a server or a single player can pick the look that fits their play.
Digit appearance is set by resource packs. Artists and modpack creators can build their own digit styles and combine them with the built-in animations, which lets a modpack give its combat a distinct look. The mod runs on both the client and the server, so the server and every player need it.
Files are published for Forge and NeoForge only, covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The latest Forge file is 1.1.0 for 1.20.1, and the latest NeoForge file is 1.1.0 for 1.21.1. The mod is released with all rights reserved, so it is not open source.
