This is a simple, serverside mod that allows you to headshot some mobs and other players. The damage is configurable and you can also enable Blindness and Nausea for the headshot victim in the config. You can control the length of the effect in the config as well. Projectile Protection also plays a major role in your protection. If it is on your helmet, it can reduce the damage taken by a headshot. This value is also configurable.

This mod is a port of and expansion on Headshot by TheoreticallyUseful.
