PvP Assist

# PvP Assist

A lightweight, **client-side only** overlay that makes information the game
already computes for you easier to read at a glance during PvP. It does not
change any game mechanics, does not read anything the client wouldn’t
already have, and adds no server-side component.

## Features

– **Crit-ready indicator** — a small dot appears above your crosshair when
  vanilla’s own critical-hit conditions are currently met (falling, airborne,
  not on a ladder, not in water, not blinded, not riding, not sprinting).
  – Translucent green: conditions are met, but your attack cooldown hasn’t
    fully recharged yet.
  – Solid bright green: conditions are met **and** your attack is fully
    charged — your next hit will land as a c
– **Target indicator** — your crosshair is recolored orange whenever a
  player is within attack range under your c
  target the game already selects internally for left-click.

## Why it’s safe to use

Everything shown is derived from values already present and visible on the
client (fall distance, ground/water/climb st
attack cooldown, and the vanilla crosshair-picked entity). PvP Assist does
not:
– read any hidden server data,
– automate aiming or clicking,
– give reach, speed, or damage advantages.

It’s a readability aid, comparable to a HUD element — not an automation or
X-ray style mod. That said, some servers rese
even when they’re not detectable — check your server’s mod policy before
using it in ranked/competitive PvP.

## Compatibility

– Minecraft **1.16.5**, Forge **36.2.39+**
– Client-side only: the mod marks itself as not required on the server, so
  you can join servers that don’t have it in
  without worrying about clients who don’t have it either.

## Configuration

Two toggles, available from **Esc → Mods → PvP Assist → Config** in-game,
or by editing `config/pvpassist-client.toml`
