Low Health Warning
Low Health Warning gives players a visual and audio alert when their health drops to a level they choose.
What it does
When health falls below the configured threshold, a pulsing red border fades in around the screen edges and a blinking half-heart icon appears at the center. A looping warning sound plays from one of two selectable sound slots, with its volume adjustable in the settings. The alert is meant for hardcore worlds, PvP servers and long exploration, where a sudden drop can go unnoticed.
The mod is purely visual and audio. It does not change health, damage or any other gameplay mechanic, so it can be added to or removed from existing worlds at any time. Because it is client-side only, installing it on a server is not needed, and the server's gameplay values stay as they are. Between sessions, the mod keeps its settings, which are written out automatically when they change.
Fabric API is required. Mod Menu is optional and only adds access to the in-game settings screen under Mods, where the threshold and each element can be toggled independently. Files are published for Fabric for 1.21.11 and 26.2, with 2.0.0 for 26.2 as the latest build, released under All rights reserved.
