Heal Timer
by yfc
Heal Timer shows how long remains before a heal can be used again, displaying the cooldown as a timer above a player's nametag.
What it does
The mod reads heal cooldowns from the game and shows the time left as a timer attached to the nametag of the player who healed. Timers start automatically when a heal is detected, for the player's own heals as well as those of other players in view, so a group can see when each member can heal next. Only the client needs it: players install it, and servers do not change.
A settings menu lets each player adjust the cooldown duration in seconds, the timer text color and other display options. Dedicated hotkeys toggle the display on and off and reset a cooldown manually. Heal Timer requires Fabric API on Fabric and works with Mod Menu for opening its configuration screen, though Mod Menu is optional.
Files target Fabric and Minecraft 1.20.1. The latest file, 4.3 for 1.20.1, was published on 2025-11-30, and the first release dates from 2025-10-11. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, so its source code is not available for reuse.

How it compares
