Surrounding Indicators
Surrounding Indicators draws health bars above nearby mobs and players on the client, placed in a corner of the screen.
What it does
Within a configurable distance, the mod shows health indicators for mobs and players around the player. Indicators can be placed on the left or right side of the screen, and the starting position on each axis is set in the configuration. A numerical health value can be shown next to each mob name, and team health indicators can be turned on alongside the scoreboard team display. The number of indicators is capped separately for mobs and for teams, with 5 and 7 as the defaults.
The mod also gives custom heart visuals for several mob types, including husks, strays, elder guardians and mounts. It works with mobs added by other mods and displays health for other players in multiplayer. Every option is set in the configuration file, and the author provides a configuration guide alongside the project.
The mod is released for Forge and NeoForge only, and it runs on the client alone. Files exist for 1.19.4 and 26.1.2, with Forge 1.2.2 for 1.19.4 and NeoForge 1.3.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest builds. The code is available publicly, and the license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
