Nametag Health Indicators
by aman037
Nametag Health Indicators draws a health readout directly under each player's name tag, so the value appears right where a viewer is already looking.
What it does
Health appears as a line under the name tag of each player. The readout can show raw health points or classic hearts, and a viewer picks whichever style suits the fight. Absorption from the health boost effect is drawn in yellow instead of red, so a yellow heart signals extra buffer rather than lost health. Rounding to the nearest half heart keeps the readout short for players who do not need exact decimals.
The line can be moved up or down by any amount, with no fixed limit on its position. Settings are handled through YetAnotherConfigLib, and the mod needs Fabric API on the Fabric loader. Nametag Health Indicators runs on the client only, and the MIT License covers the code, which is not open source. Files are published for Fabric, for five game versions 1.21.11 – 26.2, with 1.0.0 for 26.2 as the latest file.
Key features
Two display modes
The health line can show raw health points or classic hearts, depending on which style a player prefers.
Absorption hearts
Absorption from the health boost effect appears yellow instead of red, so it stands apart from ordinary health.
Half-heart rounding
Values are rounded to the nearest half heart, which removes the decimals from the readout.
Adjustable positioning
The health line can be moved up or down, and the offset is not capped at a fixed value.
