Customisable, server side damage indicator! For Fabric

Ouch!

Tired of guessing how much damage entity you attacked took? Or maybe you just wanted to make fights look bit fancier? Then this mod is for you!

Ouch! is Fabric (and Quilt) server side modification powered by Polymer which adds number/text particle effect activated after entity getting damaged, dying or getting healed (by default only damage/healing is visible)! This mod is also fully configurable allowing to change the text (color and display), size, movement and visibility time, depending on predicates testing for damage type, victim (damaged entity), source (attacker or projectile) and attacker (attacker). It can also display multiple particles with different setting for same damage, allowing for extra fun messages and alike.

Configuration.

This mod config file is stored as ./config/ouch.json.

Preset selection config.

By default, config is in a format of preset selection, allowing you to choose default style/look that's built into the mod.

{
  "preset": "default"
}

Available presets: default, minimal

Full config.

This config allows you to change any text and it's behaviour. Can be used for advanced configuration. Default values used by presets can be found here: https://github.com/Patbox/ouch/tree/master/preset All custom text within it uses the QuickText format. All predicates use are supplied by Predicate API, using this format. Lines prefixed with // aren't part of real config and are here just to explain it.
