Description

Highly Customizable Damage Numbers

HICUDAN is a mod that adds damage numbers on-hit, with a strong focus on customization. It lets you create and use your own custom fonts as in-game damage indicators by simply providing an image containing the ten digits, plus an optional eleventh character for critical hits. The mod is fully standalone and does not require any dependencies.

This mod was at first aimed to provide modpack developers with an easy to use framework through the in-game configuration and the extensive set of options available, however it ended up still user friendly enough to just straight up be used by anyone. It comes with four different fonts already available from first download.

Customization options

  • Add your own custom font
  • Define colors for different damage values
  • Custom glyph for critical strikes (Optional)
  • Adjust gap between numbers
  • Gradient or Flicker color styling
  • Shake and pulse
  • Pop-in and Fade-out
  • Scale and duration
  • Damage based scaling

Retro font

Medieval font

In-game settings

Modpack developers can disable the in-game mod settings menu if desired.

Quick guide

To add your own custom fonts you need an png file with a 10:1 aspect ratio (or 11:1 if the font includes a special glyph for critical strikes) with the font drawn in 1234567890 order, the style can be anything as long as each character is not bigger than 32x32px or smaller than 8x8px. The files that follow the format can be added into the resources folder, reloading the resources or restarting the game will create the neccesary files and allow the font to be selected in-game.

A more detailed guide can be accessed directly from the mod settings menu.

Highly Customizable Damage Numbers

This mod adds damage indicators that show the player how much damage each hit does to an entity, the indicators can be customized however the user wants with a wide variety of options available to tweak and play around with.
