Dodger

Dodger is a client-side Minecraft mod that automatically dodges projectiles from hostile mobs. With intelligent trajectory detection and precise movement algorithms, you’ll never get hit by arrows, fireballs, or other projectiles again!

🎯 Smart Projectile Detection

• Real-time trajectory analysis – Intercepts and calculates projectile paths
• Multi-mob support – Works with 11 different hostile mobs

• Visual debug overlays – See exactly what the mod is tracking

🏃‍♂️ Intelligent Dodging System

• Minimal movement – Dodges with maximum 1-block displacement
• Safe positioning – Never moves into lava, void, or dangerous blocks
• Movement-aware – Considers your current direction to avoid jarring movements
• Perpendicular dodging – Moves sideways relative to incoming projectiles

🎮 Customizable Configuration

• Per-mob toggles – Enable/disable dodging for specific mobs
• Debug visualization – Toggle trajectory lines and target boxes
• Keybind support – Default ‘O’ key to open settings (customizable)
• Real-time stats – Track dodges and hits in the HUD

• Using it only on local/single-player worlds
• Checking server rules before use on multiplayer servers
• Being respectful of server communities and their policies
