Description

Floating Damage Indicators

Floating damage numbers above every target you hit, and your own incoming damage too — color-coded by damage type. Fully configurable.

Note: FDI must be installed on both the server and client for multiplayer servers.

Floating Damage Indicators: hits

Floating Damage Indicators: effects

Floating Damage Indicators: projectiles & instant kill

⚡ Features

  • Floating damage numbers above any entity you hit
  • See your own incoming damage too
  • Color-coded by damage type.
  • Configurable — choose which numbers show up.
  • Works in both singleplayer and dedicated multiplayer.
Type Icon Color Example
NORMAL — Red Normal hit
CRITICAL ✦ Gold Jump crit
PROJECTILE ➵ Cyan Arrow, trident
FIRE ♨ Orange Fire Aspect
POISON ⚗ Green Poison
WITHER ☠ Dark gray Wither effect
RECEIVING — Light gray Damage you take
INSTANT_KILL ⚡ INSTANT KILL Gold Kill an enemy in one hit

⚙️ Configuration

After launching the game once, a configuration file will be generated:

config/floatingdamageindicators.json

Available options:

Note: The formats section is client-side only — the server only reads showDamage, showReceivedDamage, and INSTANT_KILL's enabled. To customize prefixes, colors, or showDamage, edit the config file on your client.

Tip: Some Unicode characters or emojis may not display correctly depending on your Minecraft font. If a character shows as a blank square, try a different one. Stick to basic Unicode symbols for best results.

Tip: Colors must be 6-digit hex (RRGGBB). Invalid values like "ZZZ123" or "FF" will silently fall back to the default for that damage type.

{
  "showDamage": true,
  "showReceivedDamage": true,
  "formats": {
    "NORMAL":       { "enabled": true, "prefix": "", "color": "FF3333", "showDamage": true },
    "CRITICAL":     { "enabled": true, "prefix": "\u2726", "color": "FFD700", "showDamage": true },
    "PROJECTILE":   { "enabled": true, "prefix": "\u27B5", "color": "00FFFF", "showDamage": true },
    "FIRE":         { "enabled": true, "prefix": "\u2668", "color": "FF6600", "showDamage": true },
    "POISON":       { "enabled": true, "prefix": "\u2697", "color": "4A9E2F", "showDamage": true },
    "WITHER":       { "enabled": true, "prefix": "\u2620", "color": "3C3C3C", "showDamage": true },
    "RECEIVING":    { "enabled": true, "prefix": "(You) ", "color": "AAAAAA", "showDamage": true },
    "INSTANT_KILL": { "enabled": true, "prefix": "\u26A1 INSTANT KILL", "color": "FFD700", "showDamage": false }
  }
}

Each format entry:

  • enabled — show/hide this damage type entirely
  • prefix — custom text shown before (or instead of) the number
  • color — 6-digit hex color (RGB)
  • showDamage — if false, only the prefix is shown (no damage number)
