Enhanced Attack Indicator FAQ

Open the mod list from the pause menu, select Enhanced Attack Indicator, and click the config button. You can also reach the same settings screen through the Mods menu on the title screen.

The indicator only appears when a valid attack target is in range and your attack is charging, so it stays hidden while you are just walking around. Check that the display mode is not set to a style that only shows during cooldown, and confirm the indicator is not disabled in the config.

Each style draws the charge differently, such as a bar, a crosshair overlay, or a ring around the crosshair. Pick whichever one you can read fastest during a fight, since they all show the same attack charge timing.

Yes, it is client-side, so it works on any server without needing to be installed server-side. Other players will not see your indicator, and it will not get you kicked for having it.

It generally coexists with other HUD and combat mods, but two mods drawing in the same crosshair area can overlap. If the indicator looks cluttered or hidden, move or disable the conflicting element in the other mod's config.

Use the scale and opacity options in the config to enlarge the indicator and make it more opaque. Choosing a high-contrast style and a color that stands out against your usual background also helps.

That usually means the indicator is configured to hide once the attack is fully charged, which is intentional for some styles. Change the visibility setting so it stays visible through the full charge if you prefer a constant reference.

No, it is purely visual and does not change attack speed, cooldown, or damage. It only shows you the timing the vanilla game already uses.

Open the config screen and use the reset button to restore all options to their defaults. If you changed settings through the config file directly, deleting that file and letting the mod regenerate it also works.

The mod is lightweight and only draws a small HUD element, so performance impact is negligible on most systems. If you notice a drop, try a simpler indicator style or lower its scale.
