Mob Plaques

by Fuzs

With Mob Plaques installed, a small icon line above each mob shows its health, armor, armor toughness and remaining air.

What it does

The mod draws compact status displays above mobs and other entities. Health is shown with the heart icons used by the base game, while armor, armor toughness and air supply appear as their own small plaques. Focus mode limits the display to the entity under the crosshair, and distance scaling keeps nearby plaques readable while shrinking those further away.

Plaques can be shown for hostile mobs, passive animals, bosses, players, mounts and tamed animals. Render distance, scale, position, brightness and wall visibility are adjustable, and an in-game toggle hides every plaque at once when a cleaner view is wanted. Mob Plaques is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge and needs Fabric API on Fabric, Forge Config API Port on Fabric, and Puzzles Lib on Fabric and NeoForge. Forge Config Screens is optional and adds a configuration screen.

Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy. Files cover 1.19.2 – 26.3 across 21 release versions, and the code is under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, so it is open source. Source code and an issue tracker are linked publicly.

Key features

  1. Health plaques

    Mob health appears above each entity using the familiar heart icons from the base game.

  2. Armor and toughness

    Armor and armor toughness values are displayed as plaques, so no guessing is needed in combat.

  3. Air supply display

    Remaining air is shown for mobs underwater, making it clear when a mob is about to run out of breath.

  4. Focus mode

    Plaques can be limited to the entity the player is looking at, keeping the rest of the view clear.

  5. Distance scaling

    Plaques scale with proximity, staying legible up close and shrinking farther away.

Questions

Which loader does Mob Plaques need?

The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Fabric needs Fabric API, Forge Config API Port and Puzzles Lib, while NeoForge needs only Puzzles Lib.

Does Mob Plaques have to be installed on the server?

No. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.

Where are the config files for Mob Plaques?

Config files are placed in the .minecraft/config folder, named by mod ID with client, common or server suffixes. Not every type exists.

Can plaques be hidden without removing the mod?

Yes. An in-game toggle hides every plaque at once, and focus mode limits them to the entity under the crosshair.
