Health HUD CE
by chronicboy
Health HUD CE shows a green health bar with exact decimal values above entities, and hides it when a block blocks the line of sight.
What it does
Players see a health bar above nearby entities. The bar is drawn in a minimalistic green style with a transparent background, so it stays readable without covering the action around it. The exact numerical value, decimals included, is centered within the bar for quick reading.
When a block sits between the player and an entity, the health display for that entity is suppressed, so health values do not show through walls. Health HUD CE works with the Better Wolves CE mod, version 3.0.0 or later, where it gives a clean indicator above wolves so players can judge when to engage or retreat. It is a client-side only mod, so the server needs nothing, and it is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is open source.
Files target Legacy Fabric for 1.6.4 only. The latest file is 1.1.0, published on 2026-04-26, after a first release on 2026-03-12. The source code and issue tracker are public.
