Overview

Target Dummy adds a craftable training dummy you can punch, shoot, and blow up to measure exactly how much damage your weapons and enchantments do. Every hit pops a floating damage number above the dummy, and it keeps a running DPS (damage per second) readout so you can compare loadouts scientifically.

The dummy is more than a number printer: you can dress it in armor, a shield, an elytra, or a banner-cape, and it will count as the matching mob type so type-specific enchantments behave correctly. It also reacts to critical hits and freezing, making it a genuinely useful test rig for theorycrafting your gear.
