Colorful Hearts
by Terrails
With Colorful Hearts, the health and absorption rows in the heads-up display are drawn as colored hearts instead of the vanilla rows.
What it does
Vanilla health display stacks several rows of hearts. The mod replaces these with a single row of colored hearts, one color per row of health and absorption. The colors are set in a config file that takes a list of RRGGBB hex values. The mod runs on the client alone, and multiplayer servers do not need it.
Key features
Single row of colored hearts
Each row of health and absorption is drawn in its own color, so the heart row shows how many rows a player holds.
Configurable heart colors
The colors come from a list of hex RRGGBB values in a config file, so players can choose their own palette.
Half heart backgrounds
A half heart of absorption gets a black border only on its left side, rather than a full background with a missing right half.

What the author says
Instead of vanilla behavior the mod uses colored hearts to represent each row of health and absorption. These colors can be configured in a config file that accepts a list of hex #RRGGBB values.
