Health HUD

by Codx

Health HUD replaces the default health display with a configurable readout on screen, and shows health bars or damage numbers for nearby entities.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient-side onlyCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.026.1 – 26.1.2

What it does

Health HUD draws the player's own health above the left or right side of the hotbar, with classic heart icons that fill as health changes, or as a numeric readout in the form 12.5 / 20. A percentage mode is also available, and the bar can switch colour from green to yellow to red as health drops. The player's own bar can be hidden in first-person view. Settings are opened from an in-game screen, and a chat command reaches the same options.

Living entities within 32 blocks can show their hearts, and a glance at a mob displays a floating health indicator above its head. Damage and healing values appear as numbers that rise from the target. The mod runs on the client alone, so no server installation is needed. Installation requires CodxLib on every loader, and Fabric API on Fabric. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for game versions 26.1 – 26.1.2, under a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. Player health display

    Hearts or a numeric readout show the player's health beside the hotbar, on the left or right side.

  2. Entity health indicators

    Living entities within 32 blocks show their health, with floating hearts appearing above heads when looked at.

  3. Damage and heal numbers

    Damage taken and healing received appear as numbers, so changes to health are visible at a glance.

  4. Adjustable colour and format

    The bar colour shifts from green to yellow to red as health drops, and the readout can be set to hearts, numbers or percentage.

Show FPS is a client-side mod for Fabric and Forge that covers 1.21.11 – 26.2 and is not open source, but it displays frame rate rather than health.

Health Indicator + is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.1 – 26.3 released under the MIT License. Health HUD is client-side only, so the server does not need it.

Questions

Does Health HUD need Fabric API?

Fabric API is required on Fabric. On Forge and NeoForge it is not listed. CodxLib is required on every loader and must be installed next to Health HUD.

Does Health HUD have to be installed on the server?

No. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy.

Can the health display be changed in game?

Yes. Settings open from an in-game screen, and a chat command opens the same options.

What the author says

See the health of every nearby entity at a glance — floating hearts above their heads and damage numbers that fly off when they take a hit. The bar colour shifts from green → yellow → red as health drops.
