🚀 Better Indicators
A Feature-Rich Visual Overhaul for RPG & PvP
Better Indicators is a comprehensive, 100% client-side modification for Forge 1.20.1. It provides a complete visual overhaul of the Minecraft interface, focusing on delivering precise, real-time data and tactical advantages without modifying core game mechanics. Built for players who need exact information at a glance.
⚔️ Combat & RPG
Direct, numerical feedback for combat encounters and entity tracking.
3D Damage Numbers: Precise visual feedback for every strike. Features distinct Rainbow textures specifically for critical hits.
Target HUD: Instantly displays the exact numerical Health and Armor values of the entity you are currently targeting.
True Entity ESP: Renders minimalist bracket [ ] outlines around enemies and animals, making them clearly visible directly through walls.
🖥️ Smart HUD & UI
A clean, modular interface that displays crucial performance and gameplay data.
Cinematic Compass: A dynamic, top-of-screen navigation bar providing immediate directional orientation.
Tactical Mini-HUD: Anchored to the left side of the screen, displaying essential real-time metrics: In-Game Time, FPS, and Ping.
Loot Log: A slide-out notification system on the edge of the screen that logs the exact name and quantity of items you pick up.
🌍 World Interaction
Contextual tools that analyze the environment and provide immediate feedback.
Smart Crosshair: The center reticle dynamically shifts its icon (Pickaxe, Axe, Sword) based on the specific block or entity you are looking at.
Block Scanner: Identifies the targeted block by name and displays the specific tool required to mine it efficiently.
Crop Growth Scanner: Analyzes farmland and displays the exact growth percentage along with the estimated time to harvest in minutes.

Advanced tooltips and 3D rendering for highly efficient resource management.
Advanced Container Scanner: View the exact contents of Shulker Boxes and Chests directly from your inventory screen—no placement required.
3D Item Holograms: Dropped items render with floating 3D text above them, displaying the item name and stack count.
Dropped Food Scanner: Ground-level analysis showing exactly how many drumsticks a piece of dropped food will restore before you pick it up.
Advanced Food Tooltips: Inventory hover-states now reveal the exact hunger values and the hidden saturation stats of all food items.
🔥 Action & Survival
Vital on-screen overlays and mechanics for hardcore survival and team coordination.
Tactical Ping System: Press Left Alt to place a glowing Golden Marker in the world. It remains visible for 15 seconds, displays the exact distance to the ping, and is fully visible to the user.
Cinematic Low-HP Blood: A visual warning system that renders blood effects on the screen edges when your health reaches critical thresholds.
On-Screen Durability: A dedicated UI element tracking the exact durability of your currently held tool and equipped armor pieces.
Saturation Bar: A direct visual overlay rendered underneath the standard hunger bar, tracking your exact saturation levels.
⚙️ Compatibility
Strictly Client-Side (Forge 1.20.1)
Better Indicators is a purely visual modification. Because it does not alter core game mechanics, it can be installed exclusively on your client. It works flawlessly on any Vanilla or Multiplayer server without requiring the server to install the mod.
