What it does

Health & Damage HUD draws a readout above each mob: its current health, the damage it took from the latest hit shown in red, and any healing from potions or natural regeneration shown in green. The readout updates as the mob is attacked, so a player can follow the effect of each action in combat. The mod is a Data pack for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, published for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with the latest files covering 1.21.1.

The server must run the data pack for the readout to work, while a player may add it to the client as well. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Uninstalling it only means removing the data pack and following the listed steps.

Use cases

Testing combat balance

A player can compare how much damage different weapons or spells deal to the same mob.

Who it’s for: Players who want more transparency in combat without adding new mechanics, and server owners who want to offer that readout to everyone on the server.

How it compares

Health Display Datapack covers 1.21.5 – 1.21.6 with the same server-side setup, but its license is All rights reserved and it is not open source. ZakoHealthIndicator is a client-side only mod for 1.16.5 – 26.3 under the MIT License, so it works without server changes.
