Checking Trap Hazards and Protecting Passive Mobs
Damage Tint Mod reacts whenever entities take damage from any interaction, not only direct player weapon swings. You can use this visual feedback outside standard combat to test mob farm hazards and catch accidental harm to friendly entities before they die.
Testing Mob Grinders and Environmental Traps
1. Build a viewing window with glass blocks beside the killing chamber of your mob farm or base perimeter trap.
2. Lure or flush test mobs onto your magma blocks, campfires, dripstone, fall chutes, or cactus walls.
3. Watch the trapped entities for repeated color changes to confirm every spot in the chamber applies damage without dead zones where mobs can stand safely.
4. If mobs gather in a corner without changing color, adjust your water streams or hazard placement until all queued entities trigger the damage tint consistently.
Spotting Accidental Damage to Pets and Villagers
1. Keep villagers, wolves, horses, and livestock within sight when fighting nearby zombies or clearing blocks around pens.
2. Watch for any unexpected color shift on passive mobs caused by sweeping sword edges, stray skeletons, suffocation in walls, or entity cramming in tight breeders.
3. Step in immediately to break blocks, separate crowded animals, or splash healing potions whenever a friendly entity flashes with the hurt tint.
