HP Near Crosshair
by Qemaru
With HP Near Crosshair installed, a player's health is shown in small text right below the crosshair, so it stays in view while aiming.
What it does
The mod draws the player's current health just under the crosshair, where the eye already rests during combat. Nothing has to be opened or moved to read it, and the display stays out of the way of the rest of the HUD.
After the most recent hit, the health value remains on screen for a time the player sets in the config, then fades out. This makes it possible to compare an opponent's remaining health with one's own without a separate tracking overlay. A player can also keep the indicator visible longer during PvP fights.
HP Near Crosshair is a Fabric client mod. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it and players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API and works with Mod Menu for in-game configuration. The project is published for 1.16.5 – 26.2 across 24 release versions, and the code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Health below crosshair
Current health is drawn directly under the crosshair so it can be read without moving the eyes.
Indicator after last hit
The value stays on screen after a hit for a configurable amount of time, then disappears.
Configurable duration
The time the indicator lingers after a hit can be adjusted to suit the player's preference.
Clean interface
The display is small and avoids clutter, with minimal impact on performance.

How it compares
Quickly Health Indicator is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.11, open source under the MIT License.
