# Ouch!
\nTired of guessing how much damage entity you attacked took? Or maybe you just wanted to make fights look bit fancier?
\nThen this mod is for you!<\/p>\n
Ouch! is Fabric (and Quilt) server side modification powered by
\nPolymer which adds number\/text particle effect activated after
\nentity getting damaged, dying or getting healed (by default only damage\/healing is visible)! This mod is also
\nfully configurable allowing to change the text (color and display), size, movement and visibility time, depending
\non predicates testing for damage type, victim (damaged entity), source (attacker or projectile) and attacker (attacker).
\nIt can also display multiple particles with different setting for same damage, allowing for extra fun messages and alike.<\/p>\n

\nThis mod config file is stored as `.\/config\/ouch.json`.
\n## Preset selection config.
\nBy default, config is in a format of preset selection, allowing you to choose default style\/look that’s built into the mod.

\nAvailable presets: `default`, `minimal`
\n## Full config.
\nThis config allows you to change any text and it’s behaviour. Can be used for advanced configuration.
\nDefault values used by presets can be found here: https:\/\/github.com\/Patbox\/ouch\/tree\/master\/preset
\nAll custom text within it uses the QuickText format.
\nAll predicates use are supplied by Predicate API, using this format.
\nLines prefixed with `\/\/` aren’t part of real config and are here just to explain it.
