keiwooo-crosshair-health
by Keiwooooo
Keiwooo Crosshair Health recolors the crosshair on Fabric according to the health of the entity the player is aiming at.
What it does
The mod changes the color of the crosshair as the player looks at a living entity. Its color follows the target's current health, so a player can read the state of a mob or player at a glance without opening any other display. Only the entity under the crosshair affects the color; nothing else on the screen is changed.
Health is grouped into high, medium and low bands, and transitions between the colors are smoothed rather than switching abruptly. The mod is built for the optimization and utility role in a modpack, and it works in single-player and on multiplayer servers that accept client-side mods. Installation needs only Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1; no other mod is listed as a requirement.
Key features
Health-based crosshair color
The crosshair color updates continuously based on the health of the entity being targeted.
Three health bands
High, medium and low health each map to a distinct crosshair color, so the bands are clearly separated.
Smooth color transitions
Color changes blend gradually as health moves between bands, instead of flickering between two shades.
Aimed entity only
Only the entity under the crosshair is measured, so the color never reflects mobs or players outside the aim.

Who it’s for: Players who want an at-a-glance health read in combat, and modpack builders who want a lightweight client-side aid for Minecraft 1.20.1.
How it compares
Dynamic Crosshair Compat is also client-side only and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, with Fabric files covering 1.18 – 1.21.11, so it supports a much wider version range than this mod. neverfake's Low Health Warning is client-side only under the MIT License and covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.5, but it warns about the player's own low health rather than the aimed target. Keiwooo Crosshair Health is client-side only and released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
