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.
