Changelog

v0.1.0-alpha.2

Settings Screen Overhaul

All numerical settings now use draggable sliders instead of cycling through fixed presets. This gives precise control over every timing and appearance value. Uses vanilla Minecraft's built-in SliderWidget — no external dependencies like Cloth Config required.

Color thresholds (Combine/Both mode) are now three separate sliders instead of a single cycling button:

Attach to Entity

New toggle: Attach to Entity — damage numbers follow the hit mob as it moves instead of floating at a fixed world position. Useful for fast-moving mobs or when fighting in the air.

Color & Appearance System

New config fields for full color control (not yet exposed in the settings screen UI — edit damage_indicator_plus.json directly):

• Text color — RGB color for regular damage numbers (default: white)
• Critical hit color — RGB color for critical hits (default: yellow)
• Text opacity — base opacity multiplier (0.0 – 1.0)
• Shadow color & opacity — separate color and opacity for text shadow
• Background panel — toggleable background behind text with configurable color and opacity
• Combine threshold colors — customizable RGB for each of the 4 color stages (white/yellow/orange/red)

Both Mode Fix

In Both mode, individual stack hits and the combined total no longer overlap:

• The Σ total stays anchored at the entity's head (no upward float)
• Individual hits spawn just above the total and float upward normally

Supported Versions

Expanded from 2 to 17 Minecraft versions:

1.21.9 is not supported — Fabric API removed the world rendering events in that version and didn't reintroduce them until 1.21.10.

Uses Stonecutter version predicates (//? if >=1.21.9 {) to handle API changes across versions:

• Entity.getWorld() → getEntityWorld() (1.21.9+)
• Camera.getPos() → getCameraPos() (1.21.11)
• WorldRenderEvents package move (1.21.10+)
• Style.withFont(Identifier) → StyleSpriteSource.Font wrapper (1.21.9+)
• KeyBinding string category → Category record (1.21.9+)
• mouseClicked(double, double, int) → Click record (1.21.9+)
• DrawContext.drawBorder → drawStrokedRectangle (1.21.9+)

Build System Changes

• Fabric Loom: 1.9 → 1.13
• Gradle: 8.12 → 8.14
• Stonecutter: chiseledBuild task registered for multi-version builds with comment processing
• Resource pack pack_format now injected per-version at build time (15–75 depending on MC version)
• Gradle heap: 1G → 4G (required for parallel 17-version builds)

Removed

• Built-in Burbank font removed

v0.1.0-alpha.1 — First Release

What is Damage Indicator Plus?

A client-side Fabric mod that shows floating damage numbers above mobs when you hit them — like Fortnite's damage tickers. Numbers pop in, float upward, and fade out. No server install required.

Display Modes

• Stack — Every hit shows its own number. Hit a zombie 5 times and you see 5 separate numbers stacked vertically, each floating up and fading independently. Numbers have a slight random horizontal offset so they don't overlap. Max 8 visible per mob.
• Combine — Rapid hits on the same mob merge into one growing number. Hit for 1.5, then 2, then 3 hearts — you see a single number tick up from 1.5 → 3.5 → 6.5. Each new hit resets the timer and gives a quick pop animation. Color shifts as the total grows: white → yellow → orange → red.
• Both — Runs Stack and Combine simultaneously. Individual hits appear as smaller numbers alongside a larger combined total (prefixed with Σ, "Total:", or "DMG:").

Damage Detection

• Damage numbers only appear for mobs you attack — other players' hits are not shown.
• Tamed pet damage — see damage dealt by your tamed wolves, cats, and other pets (toggleable).
• Optional display of damage you take from mobs or the environment.
• Critical hit detection mirrors vanilla mechanics — a ★ star appears next to the number when you land a crit.
• All values displayed in hearts (e.g., 2.5 ❤).

Animation System

7 built-in bezier curve presets for pop-in and fade-out animations:

• Configurable pop-in duration (0.05s – 1.0s)
• Combine mode has an additional pop-pulse animation when new damage is added
• Numbers fade out over the last 40% of their lifetime

Font Customization

• 4 built-in fonts: Default (Minecraft), Uniform (Unicode), Enchanting Table, Illager Runes
• Upload custom .ttf / .otf fonts (up to 10 MB)
• Browse and import system fonts directly
• Toggle bold, italic, and shadow per-font
• Live preview in the font settings screen
• Custom fonts stored in .minecraft/config/damage_indicator_plus/fonts/

Color & Appearance

• Customizable text color and critical hit color (RGB)
• Text opacity control
• Shadow color and opacity
• Optional background panel behind text with adjustable color and opacity
• Combine mode threshold colors: white → yellow → orange → red with configurable breakpoints

Settings Screen

Press H (rebindable) to open a scrollable settings screen with sections:

• General — Master toggle, display mode, own damage, crit stars, tamed pet damage
• Appearance — Text size (0.5x–2.0x), visibility duration (0.5s–6s), rise speed (0.1x–3.0x)
• Animation — Pop-in style, fade-out style, pop-in duration
• Combine Mode — Merge window, pop effect toggle, color thresholds (only shown when relevant)
• Both Mode — Total prefix symbol, individual hit size (only shown when relevant)
• Font Settings — Dedicated sub-screen for font management

All settings persist to a config file between sessions.

Supported Versions

Built with Stonecutter for multi-version support from a single codebase.

Known Limitations

• Client-side only — damage numbers are based on observed health changes, not exact server-side calculations
• Custom CFF-based OpenType fonts (PostScript outlines) are not supported; use TrueType-based fonts instead
