Heart Indicator

by spunkyinsaan

Heart Indicator draws a player's health as hearts above their head, so anyone nearby can read it at a glance.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.21 – 26.3

What it does

The overlay appears over each player and updates in real time as health changes. A player can raise or lower the display with the Up and Down Arrow keys, and switch it off or back on at any moment. A reset option returns the height to its default.

The mod is aimed at PvP fights, competitive SMP servers and content creators who want health information visible without adding a panel to the screen. It is a small Fabric mod for the 1.21 – 26.3 range, released under the MIT License and not open source.

Key features

  1. Real-time health hearts

    Hearts are drawn above each player's head and change as their health goes up or down.

  2. Adjustable height

    The Up and Down Arrow keys move the indicator higher or lower above the head.

  3. Overlay toggle

    The display can be hidden or shown again at any time without restarting the game.

  4. Reset option

    A single reset returns the indicator to its default position.
