Custom Hit Color

# HitColor Change the color entities flash when they take damage. Client-side only, works on any server. ## Features - **Any hit color**, with an intensity slider - **Rainbow mode** with adjustable speed - **Health-based color**: green → yellow → red as the target loses HP - **Separate colors** for yourself and for other players (great for PvP) - Optional tint during the death animation - The vanilla red flash is fully replaced, so custom colors look clean - Name tags are not tinted - Translated: English, Русский, Українська, Deutsch ## Installation 1. Install [Fabric Loader](https://fabricmc.net/use/). 2. Drop `hitcolor-x.x.x.jar` into your `mods` folder. 3. *(Optional)* Install [Mod Menu](https://modrinth.com/mod/modmenu) and [YetAnotherConfigLib](https://modrinth.com/mod/yacl) to configure the mod in-game. Without them the mod still works; edit `config/hitcolor.json` instead. ## Config (`config/hitcolor.json`) | Key | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | `enabled` | `true` | Master switch | | `hitColor` | red | Main hit color (ARGB int) | | `intensity` | `1.0` | 0.0 = no tint, 1.0 = full color | | `tintOnDeath` | `true` | Keep the color during the death animation | | `rainbowMode` / `rainbowSpeed` | `false` / `1.0` | Rainbow cycling, cycles per second | | `healthBasedColor` | `false` | Color depends on remaining HP | | `usePlayerColor` / `playerHitColor` | `false` / blue | Color for your own character | | `useOtherPlayersColor` / `otherPlayersHitColor` | `false` / orange | Color for other players | ## License CC0-1.0

# HitColor 1.0.2 A major visual overhaul — hit flashes have never felt this good. ## ✨ Added - **Smooth fade-out** — hit flashes now gradually fade instead of cutting off abruptly - **Rainbow mode** — cycles the entire color spectrum while entities flash, with adjustable speed - **Damage type colors** — entities flash with special colors depending on damage source: fire (orange), explosions, magic (purple), lightning (yellow), freezing (cyan), fall (gray) - **Per-entity colors** — assign custom flash colors to specific mobs via a config list (e.g. `minecraft:creeper|#00FF00`) - **Custom death color** — dying entities now flash a separate configurable color - **Death pulse effect** — optional "heartbeat" pulsing while an entity is dying - **Blend modes** — choose how colors are applied: Blend (mix), Replace (full repaint), Multiply (saturated dark tint) - **Entity filters** — toggle hit colors separately for players, hostile mobs, and passive mobs - **Hit particles** — optional burst of colored dust matching the flash color, with adjustable size - **Toggle hotkey** — press H (rebindable) to quickly enable/disable the mod, with on-screen feedback - **New config screen** — fully reworked with categories: General, Colors, Effects, Entities - **Localization** — added English and Russian language files ## 🔧 Changed - **Performance** — flash color and strength are now computed once per frame instead of on every vertex write - **Reworked config format** — cleaner JSON structure; old configs are automatically replaced - Name tags are no longer affected by the flash tint - Rainbow mode now takes priority over damage type colors ## 🐛 Fixed - Fixed missing `intensity` and `getCurrentColor()` references that prevented compilation - Fixed `fixedColor()` ignoring the configured intensity - Fixed config values being read on every vertex write instead of being passed directly

# HitColor Changelog ## [1.1.0] — 2025 (Minecraft 1.21.1) ### Added - **Health-Based Color mode** — the hit flash now dynamically shifts from green (full HP) → yellow (half HP) → red (near death), giving you instant visual feedback on an entity's health. Overrides the main hit color when enabled. - **Flash Intensity slider** — control how opaque the hit flash is, from 0% (invisible) to 100% (full). Useful if the default flash feels too aggressive. - **Custom Player Color** — assign a separate hit flash color specifically for your own character, so you can instantly tell apart your own damage from a mob's. - **Dedicated "Player" category in the config screen** — player-specific settings are now grouped separately in the ModMenu GUI for clarity. ### Changed - `RedTintVertexConsumer` now accepts a pre-resolved ARGB color and an alpha multiplier, instead of reading config values per-vertex. This is cleaner and makes future color modes easier to add. - `LivingEntityRendererMixin` now detects whether the entity being rendered is the local player (`MinecraftClient.getInstance().player`) and passes that context to color resolution. - `HitColorConfig` now uses a clean inner `Data` class for JSON serialisation instead of mixing static and instance fields. Existing config files are not compatible and will be regenerated on first launch. - Config GUI split into two categories: **General** and **Player**. ### Fixed - Alpha multiplier is now clamped to `[0.0, 1.0]` on load, preventing invalid values from a hand-edited config file causing visual glitches.
