Crosshair Damage Indicator

Crosshair Damage Indicator is a lightweight client-side QoL mod for Minecraft NeoForge that shows damage dealt to entities near your crosshair. It is designed for combat-focused modpacks where clear feedback matters, without requiring server installation.

Features

• Shows damage numbers directly below the crosshair
• Uses clean white text for easy readability
• Supports melee attacks, ranged hits, and delayed projectile damage
• Includes support logic for fast multi-hit effects and modded ability-style damage
• Staggers rapid damage numbers so they are easier to read
• Detects final deathblow damage when an entity disappears immediately after dying
• Client-side only: servers do not need to install it

How It Works

The mod tracks visible entity health changes on the client after combat-related input such as attacks, item use, ranged weapon release, or non-movement ability key presses. When a matching target takes damage, the mod displays a compact damage popup below the crosshair.

Because it is fully client-side, it does not add networking, commands, gameplay mechanics, attributes, items, blocks, or server-side behavior.

Notes

• This mod is a visual QoL indicator only
• Damage numbers are based on health changes visible to the client
• Server-side damage formulas are not changed
• No configuration is required
