Floating damage numbers for Minecraft — like Fortnite's damage tickers, but fully customizable.
Every time you land a hit, the damage pops up above the mob's head in hearts, floats upward, and fades out. Critical hits get a yellow ★ star. You choose how the numbers behave.
When you attack any entity, a damage number (e.g. 3.5 ❤) appears above their head with a punchy pop-in animation, drifts upward, and smoothly fades out. Numbers are rendered in world space — they face your camera, scale with distance, and feel like a natural part of the game. Only you see them. No one else on the server is affected.
Every hit shows its own number. Swing at a zombie five times and you'll see five separate values stacked vertically above it, each floating up independently. Great for confirming every hit with fast weapons.
Rapid hits on the same mob merge into a single number that keeps growing — just like Fortnite. Hit for 3, then 4, then 6, and you see one number tick up from 3 → 7 → 13. The number changes color as the total climbs:
Each new hit resets the timer and triggers a pop animation so you feel the total climbing. Once you stop attacking, the number floats away and fades.
Runs Stack and Combine simultaneously. Individual hits stack as small numbers, while a larger Σ total sits near the mob's head showing the running combined damage. Maximum information at a glance.
Press H in-game to open the settings screen. Everything saves to damage_indicator_plus.json automatically.

A dedicated Font Settings sub-screen lets you customize the typeface used for damage numbers.
Does the server need this mod installed? No. Damage Indicator Plus is 100% client-side. It reads damage from packets your client already receives. Install it on your client and join any server.
Will other players see my damage numbers? No. The numbers render locally on your screen only.
Does this affect performance? Negligibly. Numbers use lightweight world-space rendering with automatic cleanup. You won't notice a difference even in mob farms.
Does it work with other HUD mods? Yes. Damage Indicator Plus doesn't touch the vanilla HUD — it renders in 3D world space above entities, so it won't conflict with minimap mods, HUD replacers, or overlay mods.
Can I use this with OptiFine / Sodium / Iris? It's built for Fabric, so Sodium and Iris are the natural pairing and work fine. OptiFine is not supported (it's a Forge/standalone thing).
How do I change the keybind for the config screen? The default is H. You can rebind it in Minecraft's Controls menu under the Damage Indicator Plus category.
