Mainof's HealthIndicator

by Mainof

Mainof's HealthIndicator puts the health of the player being looked at, or the last player hit, directly on the crosshair area and above nametags.

What it does

Health readouts appear near the crosshair and beside player nametags, so a player can see another player's HP without opening a menu. The player who was last attacked is shown at the crosshair, and the readout's vertical position can be scaled in the config.

The mod is a Forge utility for Minecraft 1.16.5 and runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it installed. The author describes it as originally designed for the Holyworld server, and it still works there. Installing it adds no content to the world. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Crosshair health display

    Shows the health of the player currently under the crosshair, updating as the view moves.

  2. Last-hit player readout

    Shows the health of the player the local player attacked most recently, directly at the crosshair.

  3. Nametag health

    Adds the health of other players to their nametags, so readouts are visible without aiming.

  4. Absorption hearts

    Counts absorption hearts in the displayed health, so golden hearts are reflected in the readout.

Use cases

Tracking a fight

A player in a duel or a PvP session can watch the opponent's HP at the crosshair without taking their eyes off the target.

Group play

Nametag readouts let a group see each member's health while moving around a shared area.

Who it’s for: Players who want health information from other players in view, on Forge 1.16.5, and who are willing to keep the mod to their own client only.
