DAI Damage Indicators — v1.5.0 → v1.6.0

DAI 3.3 Modernization

• Updated the addon for DAI 3.3.
• Updated managed addon metadata to v1.6.0.
• Preserved compatibility with the existing DAI ADDON lifecycle.
• Kept the pack fully datapack-driven with no required resource pack.

Damage Detection Reliability

• Preserved the existing 20 TPS damage sampling path for accurate hit detection.

• Continued using real server damage statistics instead of switching to a narrower attack-only reaction event.

• Maintained support for:

  • Melee damage
  • Projectile damage
  • Indirect damage
  • DAI-native entity combat
  • Other supported server-side damage events

Victim Resolution Optimization

• Reworked victim selection so the damaged target is resolved once per hit.
• Added temporary attacker/victim state handling for the active hit.
• Removed repeated victim-resolution work across multiple damage-severity branches.
• Reduced unnecessary entity selector processing during combat.

Damage Tier Processing

• Streamlined the light, medium, and heavy indicator paths.
• Only the matching damage tier is now processed for each detected hit.
• Preserved existing indicator behavior, text sizing, and severity presentation.

Floating Number Performance

• Reduced floating damage-number movement updates from 20 TPS to 10 TPS.
• Added display interpolation so numbers remain visually smooth between updates.
• Preserved the same overall upward travel distance.
• Preserved approximately the same 3.5-second indicator lifetime.
• Reduced continuous server-side command workload while keeping the visual result intact.

Runtime Cleanup

• Improved temporary state cleanup during reloads.
• Added cleanup for stale attacker/victim tracking data.
• Preserved existing player toggle persistence.
• Preserved existing damage-indicator settings across reloads.

Compatibility & Behavior

• Existing colors and severity tiers remain unchanged.
• Existing fallback damage-number behavior remains unchanged.
• Existing enable/disable functionality remains unchanged.
• Existing resource-pack independence remains unchanged.
• Existing gameplay behavior is preserved while reducing unnecessary processing.

Internal Documentation

• Updated pack documentation for v1.6.0.
• Added modernization notes covering the DAI 3.3 capability and efficiency pass.
