Combat Indicators

About Combat Indicators

Combat Indicators makes every hit easier to read. It adds configurable health bars above living targets and floating damage numbers that stay where each hit landed before rising and fading away.

What players will notice

Health bars appear above living targets according to each player's visibility settings. Damage numbers appear at the hit location, move upward, and fade away. Indicators are visual only: they do not change health, damage, combat rules, or world data.

Visual settings are local to each installation. Open them with /combat-indicators or the shorter /ci command.

Installation

Install Combat Indicators and Zero Lib builds matching your mod loader and Minecraft version. Architectury API is also required; Fabric installations additionally require Fabric API.

The mod and its dependencies must be installed on both the client and server. The server provides the applied damage values, while each player controls how indicators look on their own client.

Compatibility and requirements

• Minecraft Java Edition 26.2
• Java 25 or newer
• Zero Lib 1.0.3 or newer
• Architectury API
• Fabric API on Fabric

Fabric and NeoForge files are separate and cannot be used with the other loader.
