HitColor Changelog

[1.1.0] — 2025 (Minecraft 1.21.1)

Added

• Health-Based Color mode — the hit flash now dynamically shifts from green (full HP) → yellow (half HP) → red (near death), giving you instant visual feedback on an entity's health. Overrides the main hit color when enabled.
• Flash Intensity slider — control how opaque the hit flash is, from 0% (invisible) to 100% (full). Useful if the default flash feels too aggressive.
• Custom Player Color — assign a separate hit flash color specifically for your own character, so you can instantly tell apart your own damage from a mob's.
• Dedicated "Player" category in the config screen — player-specific settings are now grouped separately in the ModMenu GUI for clarity.

Changed

• RedTintVertexConsumer now accepts a pre-resolved ARGB color and an alpha multiplier, instead of reading config values per-vertex. This is cleaner and makes future color modes easier to add.
• LivingEntityRendererMixin now detects whether the entity being rendered is the local player (MinecraftClient.getInstance().player) and passes that context to color resolution.
• HitColorConfig now uses a clean inner Data class for JSON serialisation instead of mixing static and instance fields. Existing config files are not compatible and will be regenerated on first launch.
• Config GUI split into two categories: General and Player.

Fixed

• Alpha multiplier is now clamped to [0.0, 1.0] on load, preventing invalid values from a hand-edited config file causing visual glitches.
