Tally Hearts
by Ddantee
Tally Hearts changes how the health and armor HUD displays once extra rows stack past the vanilla cap, collapsing them into a single colored row with a numeric counter.
What it does
When health or armor goes beyond the vanilla cap, Minecraft stacks extra rows of hearts and armor icons, which makes the HUD hard to read at a glance. Tally Hearts replaces those stacked rows with one row per bar and marks each row with its own color, so a player can tell how much is left without counting icons.
A small numeric counter sits above the collapsed row and shows the number of rows, for example x3, or a fraction such as 3/5. Players do not need to memorize which color stands for which row. The colors and the counter can each be turned on or off individually in the config, and the row colors are set as hex RGB values.
Tally Hearts is a client-side utility for NeoForge 1.21.1. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it and players join without installing anything. It has no dependencies on other heart-color mods. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so its code is not open source.
Key features
Collapsed health row
Extra health rows are merged into one row, so the HUD stays the same height however far health goes past the vanilla cap.
Collapsed armor row
Armor rows past the vanilla cap are merged into a single row in the same way as health.
Per-row colors
Each row gets its own color, set as a hex RGB value in the config, so the stacks stay distinct on screen.
Numeric row counter
A small counter above the row shows the row count, either as a multiplier or as a fraction of the total.

Use cases
Heavy health boosts
Players who stack several health boosts or absorption effects can read their total at a glance instead of counting overlapping rows.
Long armor stacks
Players with heavily enchanted or modded armor that passes the vanilla cap can keep the armor bar on one line.
Who it’s for: Players on NeoForge 1.21.1 who want a clearer health and armor display in single-player or on a multiplayer client. Server owners need nothing, because the mod runs on the client alone.

Tally Hearts is a lightweight client-side mod that solves a simple problem: once your health or armor goes past the vanilla cap, Minecraft starts stacking extra rows on your HUD, and it gets hard to tell how much you actually have at a glance.
