Floating Damage Indicators

Floating Damage Indicators

Floating damage numbers above every target you hit, and your own incoming damage too. Fully configurable.

Note: FDI must be installed on both the server and client for multiplayer servers.

⚡ Features

• Floating damage numbers above any entity you hit.
• See your own incoming damage too.
• Color-coded by damage type.
• Fully Configurable.
• Works in both singleplayer and dedicated multiplayer.

| Type | Icon | Color | Example |
|————–|—————-|————|——————————|
| NORMAL | — | Red | Normal hit |
| CRITICAL | ✦ | Gold | Jump crit |
| PROJECTILE | ➵ | Cyan | Arrow, trident |
| FIRE | ♨ | Orange | Fire Aspect |
| POISON | ⚗ | Green | Poison |
| WITHER | ☠ | Dark gray | Wither effect |
| RECEIVING | — | Light gray | Damage you take |
| INSTANT_KILL | ⚡ INSTANT KILL | Gold | Kill an enemy in one hit |

⚙️ Configuration

The easiest way to configure Floating Damage Indicators is in-game: open Mod Menu (Fabric) or the Config button in the mods list (NeoForge).

Note: The screen has two tabs: General for the two main toggles and Formats for the color, prefix and per-type options. Client-side changes are applied without restarting the game.

After launching the game once, a configuration file will be generated:

config/floatingdamageindicators.json

Available options:

Important: showDamage is the master switch. If it is set to false, no numbers are shown at all, including your own incoming damage. showReceivedDamage only takes effect while showDamage is true.

Note: The formats section is client-side only, except INSTANT_KILL‘s enabled, which the server also reads. The server only reads showDamage, showReceivedDamage, and INSTANT_KILL‘s enabled. On a dedicated server, the server-side values still require a server restart.

Tip: Some Unicode characters or emojis may not display correctly depending on your Minecraft font. If a character shows as a blank square, try a different one. Stick to basic Unicode symbols for best results.

Tip: Colors use #RRGGBB. Invalid values like "ZZZ123" or "FF" will silently fall back to the default for that damage type.

    "NORMAL":       { "enabled": true, "prefix": "", "color": "#FF3333", "showDamage": true },
    "CRITICAL":     { "enabled": true, "prefix": "\u2726", "color": "#FFD700", "showDamage": true },
    "PROJECTILE":   { "enabled": true, "prefix": "\u27B5", "color": "#00FFFF", "showDamage": true },

  }
}

Each format entry:

• enabled: show/hide this damage type entirely
• prefix: custom text shown before (or instead of) the number
• color: 6-digit hex color (RGB)
• showDamage: if false, only the prefix is shown (no damage number)
