MmmMmmMmmMmm-Fabric (target dummy)

This is a compact addon that introduces just one new item to the game — a training dummy.

Place the dummy in the world, and it will stand motionless, observing your actions. When hit, the dummy starts swaying amusingly while displaying inflicted damage in large numbers. You can dress it in various armor to improve its appearance — this will please the dummy and reduce the displayed damage values.

How to Use

Right-click on a block while holding the dummy to place it. Similar to an armor stand, the dummy can be rotated in 16 different directions depending on where you're facing during placement.

Dress your new assistant in any equipment — simply use the desired item on the dummy with a right-click. To remove a specific piece of armor, click on the corresponding body part.

Finished testing? Remove the dummy by holding Shift and left-clicking on it with an empty hand!

Additional Features

Wanted to test a sword with the Smite enchantment but couldn't find any skeletons around? No more problems! Put an undead mob head on the dummy, and it will change its type accordingly.

Similarly, equipping a turtle helmet will turn it into an aquatic mob, while a pillager banner will transform it into a pillager. Note that other mobs still won't attack the dummy (possibly in future updates), but it will take increased damage from corresponding enchantments.

Need automation? The dummy can be placed using a dispenser and destroyed by removing the block beneath it.

Don't like how much it sways or its appearance? You can easily change this through the mod's configuration file. Additionally, you can choose between static and dynamic damage-per-second messages, as well as display hearts instead of numerical damage values.

Try shearing the dummies with scissors to get an alternative appearance!
