Provi's Health Bars

by Provismet

Provi's Health Bars shows health bars for the current target and for mobs in the world, with damage indicators that appear when an entity takes a hit.

FabricQuiltClient-side onlyCustom license1.19.2 – 26.3

What it does

The mod adds two displays: a HUD health bar that tracks the entity the player is currently looking at, and in-world health bars drawn above mobs. Both can be adjusted in a settings menu. The HUD bar takes on a different look depending on the kind of mob being targeted, so different groups of mobs can look different on screen.

Damage indicators appear when an entity takes damage. They are drawn as particles that never block the view, and they show up to one side of the mob, depending on where the player stands. Other mods can use an API entrypoint to add extra HUD portraits and icons, and those additions can apply to whole Entity Groups or to specific mobs.

The mod is released under a custom license and is not open source, although its source code and issue tracker are public. Client-side only: only the client needs it, and servers run without it. Installation requires Fabric API. Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt across 27 release versions, 1.19.2 – 26.3, with 2.4.3+26.3 for 26.3 as the latest file, dated 2026-09-30.

Key features

  1. HUD target health bar

    A bar on the HUD shows the health of the entity the player is currently targeting.

  2. In-world health bars

    Health bars are drawn above mobs in the world, so damage can be read at a glance without targeting.

  3. Damage indicators

    Indicators appear when an entity takes damage and are drawn as particles that never block the view.

  4. Entity Group styling

    The HUD bar looks different for each group of mobs, and the settings menu lets players adjust both displays.

Questions

Does Provi's Health Bars need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside the mod on Fabric or Quilt.

Do servers need Provi's Health Bars installed?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.

Can the settings for the health bars be changed?

Yes. Both the HUD bar and the in-world bars can be adjusted in the settings menu, and Cloth Config API is optional for that screen.
