AntiDamageParticles is a lightweight **Spigot plugin** that completely removes the red **damage indicator particles** (those annoying floating hearts\/dots when entities take damage).<\/p>\n
This is especially useful for **RPG**, **MMO**, **PvP**, or any server where:<\/p>\n
– Players deal very high damage numbers
\n– Large groups of mobs\/players are fighting
\n– Damage particles cause noticeable client lag or visual clutter<\/p>\n
By intercepting and blocking the `DAMAGE_INDICATOR` particle packets using **ProtocolLib**, the plugin prevents them from ever being sent to clients thus reducing lag and improving clarity without affecting actual damage mechanics.<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
– Permanently blocks **damage indicator particles** (`Particle.DAMAGE_INDICATOR`)
\n– Extremely lightweight. It only listens to particle packets
\n– Works on Minecraft **1.21** and compatible versions<\/p>\n
## Requirements<\/p>\n
– **Server:** Spigot \/ Paper **1.21** or newer
\n– **Dependency:** ProtocolLib (must be installed on the server)<\/p>\n
## Installation<\/p>\n
1. Download the latest release (.jar file)
\n2. Place it in your server’s `plugins\/` folder
\n3. Make sure **ProtocolLib** is also installed
\n4. Restart (or reload) the server<\/p>\n
That’s it! No config files, no commands, no permissions needed.<\/p>\n
## How It Works<\/p>\n
The plugin uses **ProtocolLib** to intercept outgoing `WORLD_PARTICLES` packets (`Play.Server.WORLD_PARTICLES`).
\nWhen it detects a packet containing the `DAMAGE_INDICATOR` particle, the packet is cancelled before it reaches the client.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
