AuroraHUD
by bunabyte
AuroraHUD adds a set of in-game HUD elements, including armor information, target health and item pickup notices, for players on Forge 1.8.9 and 1.10.2.
What it does
AuroraHUD draws extra information on the game screen. It shows the names and health of entities the player is aiming at, along with how close the player must be to act on them, and the armor the player wears. Item pickups produce brief notifications, and the target ID and health display can be configured for each world.
The mod includes a per-world journal that stores notes inside a save. Its new interface elements follow the look of the vanilla ones and reuse vanilla code. The mod runs on the client alone, so a player installs it for single-player worlds or on a multiplayer client, with the server left unchanged. Before using it on a multiplayer server, players should check that the host's rules allow client-side additions like these.
Files are published for Forge only, for 1.8.9 and 1.10.2, with 1.02 for 1.10.2 as the latest build. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Target name and health
Names and health values of entities the player is looking at are shown on screen, along with their interaction range.

Per-world journal
A journal stored with each world holds text notes, with a configurable target ID and health display alongside it.
Item pickup notifications

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players on Forge 1.8.9 or 1.10.2 who want extra on-screen information about their armor, nearby entities and pickups, and server owners who want to know the mod changes only the client.
