HAP
by VladMod
HAP draws each other player's health as hearts above their head, so a player can see who is low on health without opening a menu.
What it does
On a Forge client, HAP places health hearts directly above the head of every other player in view. The hearts pulse and update in real time to match each player's current health, which helps during player-versus-player fights and cooperative play, where knowing who is nearly down matters. Only the client needs the mod, so a server can run without it and players join without installing anything extra. HAP is released under the MIT License but is not open source, and its files cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.6.
Key features
Health hearts above players
Each nearby player has a row of hearts drawn over their head that shows their current health.
Real-time pulsing
The hearts update continuously and pulse, so a change in a player's health is visible at a glance.
Quick read in combat
Players can tell which teammate or opponent is barely alive and whether a retreat is needed.
