About this project

What does dotMod add?

dotMOD 3.0.0

dotMOD is a client-side Fabric utility mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 and 1.21.4. It requires no
server plugin, custom protocol, or server-side dotMOD installation.

Features

  • Quick Craft through ordinary vanilla inventory clicks.
  • Draggable anchored HUD editor with snapping, scale, alpha, and custom widgets.
  • Target-player HUD with skin head, name, health, and a health bar.
  • Local UUID-based player colors and uniform name tags.
  • Local InvSeeMenu drafts that never modify the real inventory.
  • Inventory presets, best-effort vanilla-click rearrangement, and material helper.
  • Parsed inventory search with item, lore, enchantment, count, and durability filters.
  • Fast local command history, aliases, recolor tools, and /dot commands.
  • Death History with inventory/effect snapshots and optional deferred screenshots.
  • Toggle Walk/Sprint/Shift with captured movement, rebound Sprint-key latching, and safe release.
  • Hold/toggle Freelook with enforced third-person orbit and exact restoration.
  • Local Full Brightness using night-vision lightmap strength without an effect or gamma changes.
  • Runtime-toggled Predictions for projectile paths and impact-block outlines.
  • Custom projectile rules and optional collision-aware Riptide landing prediction.
  • Explosion Preview with placement/loaded-object cutoff spheres and TNT Timer.

All user-facing configuration and messages are available in English and Russian.
Configuration and versioned feature data are stored below config/dotmod/ with
atomic writes, backups, recovery, and future-schema write protection.

Safety Boundaries

  • ISM, search, HUD, helper, death history, Freelook, and Full Brightness are local-only.
  • Quick Craft and preset rearrangement use normal synchronized vanilla clicks.
  • Freelook does not mutate player yaw/pitch or add look packets.
  • Predictions creates no entities or packets and draws a central estimate only;
    server RNG, latency, entity collisions, and modified physics can differ.
  • Explosion checks are read-only. Spheres are entity damage cutoffs, not
    guaranteed block-destruction bounds; server RNG/custom physics can differ.
  • Loaded-block scans are bounded/throttled. Minecart random fuse behavior limits
    the timer to fuse state synchronized to the client.
  • Desktop image actions use argument arrays, never shell command strings.
  • No custom payload or server-required feature is registered.

Requirements

  • Java 21+
  • Fabric Loader 0.19.3+
  • Minecraft 1.21.11: Fabric API 0.140.0+1.21.11+, Mod Menu
    17.0.0-beta.1+, Cloth Config 21.11.153+
  • Minecraft 1.21.4: Fabric API 0.119.4+1.21.4+, Mod Menu 13.0.4+,
    Cloth Config 17.0.144+

Install the dependencies and dotMOD JAR in the client mods folder, then use
Mod Menu and Minecraft Controls to configure features and unbound keybinds.

Compatibility

Separate artifacts support Minecraft 1.21.11 and 1.21.4; use the matching
+mc... suffix. Rendering, camera, or HUD mods that replace the same internals
may conflict. Server use remains subject to each
server's rules. Automated builds do not imply untested Windows, macOS, Realms,
Paper/Spigot, or graphics-mod compatibility.
