Dynamic Damage

Preview

This mod displays customizable damage indicators above entities when they take damage. It is a server-side mod that accurately transmits damage events to clients, ensuring full compatibility and consistency in multiplayer environments.

Features

• Server-Authoritative: Damage is detected on the server and sent to nearby clients, meaning the numbers you see are the real damage dealt.
• Critical Hit Distinction: Critical hits are visually distinct from normal hits, with their own configurable color, size multiplier, and animation intensity. The mod uses vanilla logic to detect critical hits from players.
• Smooth Animations: Indicators have a fluid life cycle, featuring an initial ‘pop’ effect, a gentle upward drift with easing, and a clean fade-out animation.

In-Game Configuration

The mod is fully configurable in-game using ModMenu (recommended) and Cloth Config (required). The configuration file is also available at config/damage_indicator.json.

You can fine-tune nearly every aspect of the indicators:

• Display Settings:
• Enable or disable the mod entirely.
• Set the maximum render distance for indicators.
• Adjust the base scale (size) of the numbers.

• Text & Color:
• Define a custom damage format string (e.g., %.1f for one decimal place).
• Toggle between showing decimals or rounding to whole numbers.
• Set custom colors for both normal and critical damage using a color picker.

• Animation:
• Lifetime: How long an indicator stays on screen.
• Pop Duration: The length of the initial bounce/pop animation.
• Fade Start Time: When the indicator should begin to fade out.
• Vertical Speed: How fast the indicator floats upwards.
• Horizontal Spread: The random horizontal offset for new indicators.

• Critical Hits:
• Critical Scale Multiplier: How much larger critical hits are compared to normal ones.
• Critical Pop Effect: The intensity of the pop animation specifically for critical hits.
• Normal Pop Effect: The intensity of the pop animation for normal hits.
