HealthBar
With HealthBar installed, a lightweight health display appears on screen, and players can reposition, rescale and recolour it.
What it does
HealthBar is a client-side health display that shows the current and maximum health of the player. Its position, scale and colours can be changed, and the bar becomes visually alert when health runs low. Text is customizable through Java string formatting, so the readout can show current over maximum or another form. The project is a rewrite of an older mod by SilentChaos512, updated for newer Minecraft versions.
Key features
Configurable display
The health bar can be repositioned, rescaled and recoloured to suit the player's interface.
Low health alert
The bar changes its look when health drops low, so danger is easier to notice.
Custom health text
The readout uses Java string formatting, so current and maximum health can be shown in a chosen layout.
