Damage Indicator YS
Damage Indicator YS shows a red boss bar with the health of the entity a player is looking at, along with recent damage and healing figures.
What it does
Damage Indicator YS displays the name and health of the entity under the player's crosshair in a red boss bar. Recent damage appears as a Damaged -X line and recent healing as a Healed +X line, and the reading stays briefly after a tracked entity dies. Health is tracked per player, so each player on a multiplayer server sees their own bar.
The mod is an alternative to floating health text above mobs, which can clutter the screen. Only the entity actually being looked at is shown, which keeps the view cleaner while still giving combat feedback. Targeting for other players is an optional setting that is disabled by default.
Installation needs a resource pack, and the datapack must be reloaded after installing it before commands take effect. Server owners can run the mod's commands to adjust its behavior. The mod is available for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt and is published for 26.1 – 26.1.2 in three release versions.

What the author says
Damage Indicator YS is designed as a low-clutter alternative to floating health text datapacks. Instead of showing health above every nearby entity, it only displays information for the entity you are actively looking at. This keeps the screen cleaner while still giving useful combat feedback.
