Scoreboard Health Indicators
by Joboblock
Scoreboard Health Indicators draws a health bar above players and entities, reading values that a server stores on a scoreboard.
What it does
Many servers hide real health values and show custom numbers through a scoreboard instead. Scoreboard Health Indicators reads the scoreboard value a server uses to represent health, such as values shown below names, in the sidebar or in the player list, and draws a clean, consistent health bar above the affected players and entities. Values that are hard to read, cluttered or invisible at a distance become a steady bar, and the bar still appears when the internal health value is hidden.
The mod can be used in both solo play and on multiplayer servers. Using it on a server where the rules do not allow it may be considered cheating, so players should confirm that the server permits it first. Fabric API and the Health Indicators library are required dependencies, and the scoreboard objective must exist on the server for the mod to show anything.
Key features
Scoreboard-based health bars
Health bars are drawn from scoreboard values, so custom health displays on a server become visible above players and entities.
Works with hidden health
The bar still appears when the server hides the internal health value of an entity, including an invisible one.
Toggle key
A keybinding in the Scoreboard Health Indicators category switches the health display on and off.
Cycle scoreboard type
A second keybinding cycles through the available scoreboard types so the displayed value can be changed in game.

What the author says
This mod displays the scoreboard-based health of players and entities as a health bar above them. It works even if the server hides the internal health value or the entity is invisible.
