HealthIndicator
by RedSlime
HealthIndicator, a Fabric utility, shows a warning sound when the player's health drops under a set threshold.
What it does
Health warnings use the Noteblock PLING sound when health falls below a threshold the player chooses. The threshold is counted in health points, with two points equal to one heart, so a value of six gives a warning at three hearts. A sound multiplier adjusts how loud the warning is.
A toggle button turns the warning off without removing the mod, which suits players who only want the alert during certain stretches of play. The mod is similar in purpose to the health indicator plugin of uku's mods. It is a client-side mod, so only the player's own client needs it, and servers can run without it. Its required dependencies are Cloth Config API and Mod Menu. HealthIndicator is open source under the MIT License and has Fabric files for 1.16.5, 1.17.1 and 1.18.2, with 1.1 for 1.16.5 as the latest build, published 2025-06-22.
Key features
Low health sound
A PLING sound plays when health drops under the chosen threshold, signaling danger without a visible overlay.
Adjustable threshold
The warning point is set in health points, where two points equal one heart, so the trigger can be matched to a play style.
Sound multiplier
A multiplier scales the volume of the warning sound, from quiet to loud.
Toggle button
A button switches the warning off and on again without restarting the game or disabling the mod.

Use cases
Combat and exploration
Players who fight mobs or cross dangerous terrain can hear the warning before health reaches a critical level.
Quiet play
Players who prefer no alerts can switch the warning off with the toggle button and keep the mod installed.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want an audible warning when health gets low. Only the client side is needed, so servers do not have to install it.

SaveOurSelves is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.18.2 – 1.21.3, released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and open source. Pling is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.15.2 – 1.21.8, released under the MIT License and also open source. HealthIndicator covers 1.16.5 – 1.18.2 under the MIT License, so its version range is narrower than either of these.
