HealthTag
HealthTag shows each player's remaining health below their name tag, using a heart icon, so anyone nearby can read it at a glance.
What it does
Once installed, the health readout appears under every visible name tag. Players can see at a glance how much health a nearby player has left, which suits PvP survival play where that information matters. The display is drawn by the client, so only the client needs the mod; a server running vanilla can host players who have it.
The readout is only as exact as the health figures the server chooses to send to each client. On standard vanilla survival servers the readout works as intended. Some competitive servers with strict anti-cheat settings deliberately hide or obfuscate health data, and HealthTag then shows whatever the server provides. Players out of range or not yet engaged in play can also change what appears.
HealthTag is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It targets game versions 1.21.11 – 26.2, with the latest Fabric build, 1.0.0, made for 26.1.2. Fabric Loader is required, and the mod is installed by dropping it into the mods folder, with a config file available for adjusting the display.

Self Health Indicators is also client-side only and not open source, with files for 1.21.8 – 26.2. Vanity Icons is open source under the MIT License for 1.21.1 and runs on client and server, so both sides need it.
