Crosshair Health Indicator
by Mark_Snicket
Crosshair Health Indicator shows a player's health as a number underneath the crosshair, with decimals below 10.
What it does
The mod draws the player's current health as a number directly under the crosshair, so the value stays in view while aiming or fighting. Options let the display switch between hearts and a numeric readout, show or hide the gamemode, and render health even in creative or spectator mode. The indicator can be turned off entirely from the settings.
Health text is drawn in a color set as an RGB hexadecimal value, and a second color takes over once health drops below a chosen threshold. The defaults leave the indicator disabled and count health in full hearts rather than half hearts until these are changed. Settings are changed inside the game through Cloth Config, with Mod Menu providing the menu entry.
The mod is a Fabric client mod, released under the MIT License as open source. It has builds for 1.21.6 – 26.3 across eleven release versions, and the latest file targets 26.3. Installation needs Cloth Config API and Fabric API alongside it.
