Animal HUD
Animal HUD shows a short overlay with the details of the passive animal a player is looking at, and the overlay is built entirely from a datapack.
What it does
When a player looks at a supported animal within range, a clean action bar line appears with its details, including health, age, ownership, variants, saddles, wool color and bee status. The overlay updates in real time and disappears once the player looks away. Animal HUD covers more than 20 passive mobs and is aimed at farming, breeding, taming and managing animals.
The mod ships as a datapack, so no extra mods or resource packs are needed beyond the listed dependency. Mod Menu must be installed alongside it. Files exist for Fabric on 12 release versions, with snapshot builds also published, under a custom license that is not open source. Only the server needs it, and players may leave it out.

Datapack only
