Ouch! Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on damage numbers?
Damage indicators appear automatically once the mod is installed—you don't need to enable anything. If you're not seeing numbers when you hit mobs or players, check that the mod is loaded in your mods folder and that you're looking directly at the entity you're damaging.
Why aren't damage numbers showing up?
Make sure you're hitting entities that can take damage (mobs, players, or bosses). Damage indicators won't appear if you're hitting blocks, the ground, or invulnerable entities. Also verify the mod is properly installed by checking your mods folder.
Can I customize the color of damage numbers?
Customization options depend on your mod's configuration file—check your config folder for Ouch! settings where you may be able to adjust colors, size, or display duration of damage indicators.
Do damage numbers show for all types of damage?
Damage indicators show numbers for direct hits from weapons and tools. Other damage types like fall damage, fire, or poisons may or may not display depending on your mod version—the numbers primarily track damage you deal to entities.
How do I know if my weapon is doing more damage after enchanting it?
Hit the same mob with your weapon before and after enchanting, then compare the damage numbers that appear. Higher numbers mean your enchantments are working—this is especially useful for comparing critical hits or enchantment effects like Sharpness.
Do damage numbers work on boss fights?
Yes, damage indicators appear on bosses just like regular mobs, making it easy to track how much damage you're dealing during the fight and adjust your strategy if needed.
Can other players see my damage numbers?
Damage numbers are client-side only, meaning only you see them on your screen—other players won't see the indicators unless they also have the mod installed.
Does this mod work with other damage mods?
Ouch! Mod is designed to display damage information and should work alongside most other mods, but conflicts can occur with mods that heavily modify damage calculations—test in your world to be sure.
Will damage numbers slow down my game?
The mod has minimal performance impact since it only displays numbers on screen. If you experience lag, it's likely from other mods or your world, not from damage indicators.
How long do damage numbers stay on screen?
Damage indicators appear briefly and fade away after a short time. The exact duration depends on your mod configuration—check your config settings if you want to adjust how long numbers remain visible.
