Heart Animation Customizer
by RedF1ex
Heart Animation Customizer lets players switch off or keep individual animations on the health hearts, from a single config screen.
What it does
The mod changes the animations of the heart display in the HUD. Each of three effects has its own toggle: a white flash when fresh damage lands, a jitter that appears at low health, and a bounce when regeneration pops a heart upward. A master switch turns the whole mod off with one click, and the toggles can be mixed in any combination.
Fabric API and Mod Menu are required, and Cloth Config is needed for the settings screen. Mod Menu opens the Heart Animation Customizer config, where settings save automatically and persist between sessions. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it, and installing it does not affect other players or get a player kicked from a server.
Builds cover the classic 1.21.x line and the year-based 26.x releases, 1.21 – 26.2, and a file matching the installed game version is needed. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Use cases
Players who find the effects distracting
A player who wants a calmer heart display can keep one animation and disable the rest, or turn everything off.
Players who want only some effects
Each toggle works independently, so the flash, shaking and bounce can be combined in any mix.
Who it’s for: Players who want more control over the heart animations on the HUD. Only the player's own client needs the mod, so it is suited to single-player and multiplayer play alike.
