✨ What is it?

Ever wondered how much damage your sword really does? Better MmmMmm adds one handcrafted straw scarecrow Target Dummy. It never fights back and never stays down, so it's the perfect partner for testing weapons, enchantments, bows and combos. Every hit gets feedback you can actually see.

🛠️ Crafting

Put a Hay Bale on top of an Armor Stand in the crafting table:

= 1 Target Dummy

💥 Hit Feedback

• ❤️ Hearts pop out of the dummy, about 1 heart per 2 damage (up to 12), like Java's combat damage indicators
• 🔢 Floating damage numbers, colour-coded by damage type
• ⭐ Crit sparkles, flying straw bits and a satisfying wobble
• ⏱️ DPS meter, either a fixed 5-second window or a live value

👑 Boss Mode & Settings

Interact with the dummy using an empty hand to open the menu:

• 👑 Boss mode with 120 / 250 / 500 / 750 / 1000 HP. It has a boss bar and respawns about 3 seconds after it falls
• 🔢 Damage numbers and ✨ hit effects on / off
• ⏱️ DPS mode and 🔄 DPS reset
• 🛡️ Test armor level (changes the displayed numbers only)
• 🧟 Mimic type (undead / arthropod) for Smite and Bane of Arthropods tests

In normal mode the dummy has 1000 HP and heals itself back to full, so it basically never dies.

🎮 How to Use

1. Craft it and right-click the ground to place it. It turns to face you
2. Hit it with anything you want to test
3. Pick it up: sneak and hit it with an empty hand

It needs solid ground. If the block under it is removed, it turns back into an item.

🎨 Look

🌾 Golden straw head and hands with red twine bands · 👕 cream shirt with gold buttons and brown patches · 👖 dark brown trousers and tan boots · 🙂 button eyes and a stitched smile. Painted in true Minecraft pixel size, so it fits right into vanilla.

📋 Installation

Open the .mcaddon file, then activate the Behavior Pack and the Resource Pack together in your world. Requires Minecraft Bedrock / Pocket Edition 1.21.80+. No Beta APIs or Experimental toggles are needed.

⚠️ Good to Know

• The armor setting only changes the displayed numbers, not the model
• Smite and Bane of Arthropods results depend on the game version and the mimic type
• It is a training dummy, not a mob target, Target Block output or dispenser target
