Use Damage Indicators in Multiplayer Servers
Client-Side Installation Only
Damage Indicators Expanded runs entirely on your client, meaning you can join any multiplayer server—vanilla or modded—without requiring the server to install the mod. Your server administrator doesn't need to make any changes.
What You'll See
When connected to a multiplayer world:
- Health bars appear for all mobs you encounter
- Floating damage numbers show your hits and other players' hits on shared targets
- Your configured visual style displays consistently
- The mod doesn't affect other players' games
Compatibility Notes
Since the mod is client-side only, it works across:
- Vanilla servers
- Servers running different mods than you have installed
- Custom modpacks with varying mod configurations
- Multiplayer realms and third-party hosting
Other players won't see your damage indicators unless they also have the mod installed. The mod never sends data to the server or modifies game rules, making it safe for any multiplayer environment.
