HealthIndicator
by uku
HealthIndicator draws a warning on the HUD when the player's health falls below a chosen threshold.
What it does
When health drops under the configured minimum, a warning appears on the heads-up display. The threshold and the position of the warning are both adjustable in the mod's settings, so the warning can sit wherever it is least in the way of the game screen.
An optional sound plays when damage is taken while health is under the minimum. It can be switched off separately, for players who want the visual warning alone. Nothing in the mod changes gameplay, health values or the server side of a world.
The mod needs ukulib, which must be installed next to HealthIndicator. Files are published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, and the latest builds target 26.3. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Adjustable health threshold
The health level that triggers the warning can be set in the configuration, so the warning appears at the point each player prefers.
Configurable warning position
The location of the warning on the HUD can be changed, keeping it clear of the hotbar, chat and other interface elements.
Damage sound
A sound can play when the player takes damage while under the minimum, and it can be toggled off.
Simple HUD overlay
The warning is a single on-screen indicator that appears only while health is low and disappears once health recovers.

Use cases
Survival play
A player in survival can keep an eye on health during fights or exploration without checking the health bar constantly.
Modded packs with busy HUDs
Players running many interface mods can place the warning in an unused corner of the screen.
Who it’s for: Players who want a visible low-health signal during play. Because it runs on the client only, the mod suits both single-player worlds and multiplayer clients, and server owners need nothing extra.
How it compares
No Dialog Warning is client-side and published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.21.6 – 26.3, so it covers a different kind of warning. Low Health Warning is client-side too, but it is available only on Fabric for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, which is a narrower range than this mod.
