Health Indicator
Health Indicator, a Fabric client mod, draws the health of players and mobs above their heads as hearts, a bar or a numeric readout.
What it does
Health Indicator shows the health of living entities in the world, players and mobs alike, as a floating display above each head. Three display modes are available: vanilla-style hearts with full, half and golden absorption hearts, a sleek health bar whose fill changes from green to yellow to red as health drops, and a numeric readout such as 14.5/20. Size and spacing of the hearts and bars can be adjusted, and the displays turn toward the camera. The mod adds a built-in configuration screen where the display mode and detail level are chosen, and pressing H cycles through the modes in-game, with the choice saved automatically.
The mod is aimed at players who need exact health numbers in competitive PvP or large multiplayer fights. Floating damage numbers show how much damage was dealt or healed, and health values slide to new amounts instead of jumping. A combat overlay keeps a session count of kills, deaths and total damage dealt. A group manager screen lets players build named sets of players from the configuration menu. Files are published for 1.21 – 26.2.
