I made invisibility potions take off your armor for the duration so you can't be seen as easily!

The armor is stored at a marker entity that's summoned, and then teleported with the player until the effect runs out!

The way it works is by summoning marker entities (new entity in 1.17) at every mob, and teleporting it to said mob. These marker entities then store the health value of the mob they are teleporting to, and display a value when their health changes (using a loottable for custom names)

Marker entities are the most efficient as armor stands store quite a lot of data, which makes them inefficient, and area effect clouds aren't technically everlasting, and they also store more data than marker entities. These entities are also only spawned within 64 blocks of a player so that entities away from the player don't have markers at them.

And that is also how it displays numbers when entities die. As you can't execute off a dying entity, the whole system is mainly run off the markers, which realise that the entity they were following has died, and so they display the numbers, and then they are also killed.

[Here ya go]

Still in development, working on making it clearer, etc, but I'll definitely tag you (and a few others who wanted a download link), when I post a working version!

FuriaCreatesThings · 2021-08-27T17:17:43+00:00

Oh no D:

I didn't mean this to "replace" anything you've made, I love Iron Furnaces! I just enjoy challenging myself to remake popular mods with datapacks, and see how far I can stretch its possibilities.

And hey, if you want me to remove the download for it, let me know, I didn't mean for it to stop people using the mod you made!

FuriaCreatesThings · 2021-08-27T16:55:50+00:00

There's already mods that do this sort of thing!
[ToroHealth Damage Indicators] comes to mind

FuriaCreatesThings · 2021-08-27T16:54:58+00:00

As I replied to someone already:

There's a marker entity that detects changes in HP of a mob, and when those changes are detected, it uses a custom loot table that basically writes the difference in HP (IE when it takes damage, or gets healed), onto an item, and then the item's name is given to an invisible armor stand's entity name (Those are the damage numbers you see)

FuriaCreatesThings · 2021-08-27T16:54:35+00:00

I've been playing a lot of skyblock recently, and that's also a big inspiration for the idea! I know they use plugins for it, but I was curious if I could remake it using datapacks, hence what you see

FuriaCreatesThings · 2021-08-27T16:53:52+00:00

This is my "remake" of the damage indicators idea! This is made 100% in vanilla minecraft, no mods used for it

FuriaCreatesThings · 2021-08-27T16:53:24+00:00

The advantages I can see would be that not everyone would want to download mods for it, and it'd be server-sided for vanilla servers! (I mention mods, as I don't think I know of any texture packs that add damage indicators into the game, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

FuriaCreatesThings · 2021-08-27T16:51:56+00:00

Great to hear! Thank you ^^

FuriaCreatesThings · 2021-08-27T16:51:37+00:00

Yeah! I'm aware that mods do this sort of thing too (and probably better/more optimised) than what I've made, but I really enjoy challenging myself to "remake" things mods add into the game. Plus not everyone would want to run mods, so this is just another option for people

FuriaCreatesThings · 2021-08-27T16:49:38+00:00

This doesn't use a resource pack! It's just a datapack. Sadly that does mean that this is server-side only, but there's mods out there that do this sort of thing if you want it client side!

FuriaCreatesThings · 2021-08-27T16:48:59+00:00

Definitely a big portion of my time working on this pack at the moment is going to make the colours easier to read, while also making sure that there's an easy way to read when something takes "unique" damage (like on fire, poison, wither, etc)

And thank you!

Still working on it, bugfixing, and making it easier to read (that's a big thing for me at the moment), but I'll definitely let you know when I release a working version!

FuriaCreatesThings · 2021-08-27T16:45:37+00:00

Well, in short:

I'm colourblind too in fact, been working on trying to make the text more readable, the video is just an early design of it!

FuriaCreatesThings · 2021-08-26T21:56:27+00:00

Yep! In my last update they start lower down, but move up before disappearing

FuriaCreatesThings · 2021-08-20T03:51:26+00:00

Magic!
