What it does
Damage Numbers draws a floating value at the point of impact for every hit that matters to you: damage you deal in green, damage you take in red, and hits stopped by a shield in teal.
Coverage extends past player-versus-player combat to ridden mounts, unridden tames and structures, so a tribe can see a base being chewed on as clearly as a firefight. Every player chooses their own level of detail with a chat command, and the preference persists.
Dealt and Incoming Damage
Green for damage you deal, red for damage you take — readable at a glance mid-fight.
Per-Player Toggle
Each player sets their own detail level with a chat command, and the choice is remembered between sessions.
Structure Damage
Optional numbers on structures, so a base under attack is visible rather than silent.
Tames and Mounts
Covers ridden mounts and unridden tames, with the owning tribe as the audience.
Tribe Sharing
Relevant numbers reach the whole tribe, while friendly-fire hits stay personal.
Shield Block Feedback
A blocked hit reads teal, including when the block is directional.
Explosive Totals
A stack of charges detonating together reports one summed number instead of a burst of fragments.
Distance Limiting
A configurable view distance keeps numbers to hits you could plausibly see.
