[DAI] Damage Indicators (Data)

Damage Indicators Data v2.0.0

DAI Engine 4.2 Integration

• Updated Damage Indicators for DAI Engine 4.2
• Added native DAI datapack keybind integration
• Added Damage Indicator Customization keybind
• Default customization key is V
• Added DAI reaction handling to detect the customization key and open the new interface
• Added DAI logic definitions for client-accessible skin selection

New Damage Indicator Customization Screen

• Added a fully data-driven DAI customization screen

• Added selectable indicator skins:

  • Default
  • Vanilla / Overworld
  • Nether
  • End
  • Custom Resource Pack

• Added themed skin cards, icons, labels, and selection controls

• Skin selection automatically closes the customization screen after applying

Per-Player Skin Selection

• Added persistent di_skin tracking for each player
• Each player can independently choose their preferred damage indicator appearance
• Existing players default safely to the original visual style when no skin preference exists
• Skin preferences persist across reloads and reconnects

Custom Resource Pack Support

• Added a dedicated Custom skin slot for creator-made indicator styles
• Custom skins can override the public dai_damage_indicators:custom font
• Added support for custom digit textures while preserving the built-in indicator logic
• Allows additional resource packs to visually reskin Damage Indicators without modifying the data pack

Damage Detection Improvements

• Damage continues to be sampled at 20 TPS to preserve accurate detection of rapid hits, projectiles, and DAI-native combat
• Improved cumulative damage_dealt tracking by calculating only the damage dealt during the current tick
• Damage values are separated into whole and decimal components for stable one-decimal display
• Damage information is stored before the visual indicator is created

Target Resolution Improvements

• Reworked victim detection to resolve the nearby damaged entity once per hit
• Reduced repeated nearest-target searches used by previous versions
• Added tightly scoped temporary attacker and victim tags
• Maintains compatibility with vanilla living entities, DAI-native entities, and other normal living targets
• Preserved attacker-relative fallback positioning when a target disappears during a killing blow

Damage Severity Routing

• Added dedicated routing for:

  • Light damage
  • Medium damage
  • Heavy damage

• Only the appropriate severity route is executed for each hit

• Each severity can use its own themed indicator presentation

Performance Improvements

• Separated combat sampling from visual animation updates
• Combat detection remains at 20 TPS for accuracy
• Damage indicator animation updates now operate at 10 TPS
• Uses text_display interpolation to maintain smooth client-side movement despite the reduced server update rate
• Reduced recurring entity-command overhead
• Consolidated victim lookup instead of repeating the same selector across every severity tier

Display Behavior

• Damage indicators spawn above the damaged target for improved melee readability
• Indicators continue moving upward during their lifetime
• Preserved the established approximately 3.5-second indicator lifetime
• Added automatic cleanup of expired display entities

Reload & Initialization Safety

• Players now initialize against their current lifetime damage statistic
• Prevents /reload from displaying all historical player damage as one enormous damage number
• Added cleanup of stale temporary attacker/victim state on reload
• Added cleanup of leftover Damage Indicator text displays during initialization
• Improved recovery if Minecraft statistics are reset or changed externally

Enable / Disable Support

• Preserved the existing:

  • Enable function
  • Disable function
  • Toggle function

• Player enabled/disabled preference remains supported across reloads

• Re-enabling Damage Indicators resynchronizes damage tracking to prevent false indicators

Compatibility

• Built for Minecraft Java 26.2
• Built for DAI Engine 4.2
• Designed to pair with Damage Indicators Resource Pack v2.0.0
• Default indicators remain safe without the companion resource pack
• Vanilla, Nether, End, an
