Warns you when a Whitch is approaching.

BackAlert is a client-side mod that warns you when hostile mobs approach from behind.

When danger is detected, a compact alert panel slides in from the side of the screen and shows the mob type and distance at a glance.

It stays out of the way during normal gameplay, making it useful for exploration, mining, and avoiding surprise attacks.

Frequently Asked Questions

BackAlert server crashes on startup – what to do?

Is BackAlert compatible with fabric?

BackAlert officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with BackAlert – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if BackAlert consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
