Description from the author on Modrinth

Custom Damage Overlay Color

This resource pack allows to change overlay color of all entities when they take damage. By defult this resource pack changes it to green, as an example.

Versions: 1.17 — 1.21.11

Works with both Optifine and Sodium.


How to change the color

Go into the resource pack and open a file assets/minecraft/shaders/include/change_damage_overlay.glsl, choose a color and put it into the second line of the file. For example if you want to change the color to purple (#AA00FF) with 50% transparency, the second line of the file would look like this:
vec4 RGBColor = vec4(170,0,255,127);
And if you want cyan (#00FFFF) color with the same transparency as in vanilla, it would look like this:
vec4 RGBColor = vec4(0,255,255,178);

How to install Custom Damage Overlay Color

  1. Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine for your Minecraft version: shaders need one of them.

  2. Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.

  3. In Minecraft, open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs, and click Open Shader Pack Folder.

  4. Drop the .zip file into that folder, pick Custom Damage Overlay Color in the list and click Done.

  5. Shaders are heavy on the graphics card. If the game gets slow, pick a lower profile in the shader settings.
