Low Health Warning
by thevelqor
Low Health Warning shows a clear low-health message above the hotbar when a player's health drops below a safe point, so the danger is visible before it becomes serious.
What it does
Health levels are hard to read at a glance during cave exploration, mob fights or intense PvP, and this Fabric utility gives an instant visual cue as the player's health falls toward a risky value. The warning appears above the hotbar, so a player can react before a fight turns fatal.
The mod is a client-side quality-of-life addition: the server does not need it, and players join servers without installing anything. It is built to stay small and fast, with no added menus, screens or heavy effects, so it suits players who want one useful change that fits naturally into vanilla survival. Files target 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 across five release versions, and the latest Fabric file, 1.0.1+1.21.11, was published on 2026-06-12 for 1.21.11.
The code is released under the MIT License, though the project is not open source. The first release came out on 2026-06-06 and the most recent update followed six days later.
