Rolling Health
Rolling Health replaces the usual health display with a trailing indicator that shows how much health was just lost, similar to the HUD of EarthBound.
What it does
When a player takes damage, the lost amount stays visible as a rolling bar that slowly shrinks toward the current health value. The rate at which that trailing section decreases is set by the health loss rate option, so the player can read how much was lost in the last few moments rather than only the current total. Fights that chain several hits become easier to follow because each change in health leaves a visible trace.
The mod changes only how health is shown and how fast the trailing indicator moves; it does not alter damage values or add new mobs. Hunger, air and the other bars keep their usual layout. A setting controls whether the custom HUD is displayed at all, so players can switch back to the standard health bar without removing the mod. Rolling Health runs on Fabric and Quilt, and the environment is client and server.
Installation needs only the mod file for the matching loader and game version. Files target 1.19 – 1.20.1 across seven release versions, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Trailing health indicator
Lost health remains on the bar as a fading section that moves toward the current value over time.
Adjustable loss rate
The speed at which the trailing section shrinks can be changed, so the effect can be quick or slow.

Modpack HUD changes
Pack makers who want a different health display can enable or disable the custom HUD for their pack.
Who it’s for: Players who want a health bar that shows recent damage, and modpack authors who want a different combat readout. Because it is client and server, servers that run the mod need every player to install it as well.

What the author says
(updated and likely unstable beta version on github) what used to be your hunger, health and air has now been squished into a neat RPG-style container. Thanks to the addition of the rolling health, an indicator has also been added to show what your health will decrease to.
