Simple Hp Bar
Simple Hp Bar draws a health bar above mobs and players, and its settings cover the bar's size, colors and text.
What it does
The mod adds a health bar above mobs and players. Its look is kept simple, with many built-in options. By default it applies to one set of mobs, including some vanilla neutral mobs and some monsters. A whitelist and a blacklist decide which mobs show the bar, and the same lists work across the other features.
Settings cover the bar itself: scale, width, height, background, size, color, transparency and border-radius. The bar uses three colors for low, mid and high health, and the lost-health part can animate with a smooth decrease over a set time. Name, current health, max health and health percentage each get their own text, with options to add text before or after, set alignment, color, transparency, position and scale.
Configs are generated the first time the game runs, and they can be edited, created and deleted inside an editor that comes with the mod, opened with the H key. Players can keep one shared config or copy and rewrite values for different bars and mob choices. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and only the latest Minecraft versions receive support.
