Target HP Display
by Anar4ist
Target HP Display shows the health of the player an aiming crosshair points at, drawn as a customizable HUD widget that stays on screen during fights.
What it does
A player who is aimed at has their current health shown in a widget the client draws on the HUD. The widget is draggable, and its position is kept between sessions. Health changes are animated with a lerp rather than jumping to the new value, and the smoothing speed can be adjusted. Color thresholds let the user set their own high and low health percentages and pick a color for each band, for example green above 50%, yellow between 20% and 50%, and red below 20%.
Appearance can be tuned without editing a config file: the player's name can be toggled, and the background panel color, panel opacity and overall widget opacity are adjustable, as is the scale. A built-in gear button opens a standalone settings screen with these options. Target HP Display is client-side only, so servers need nothing installed, and it reads health data the client already receives. Mod Menu and Cloth Config are required dependencies.
The mod runs on the Fabric loader with Fabric API and is published for Minecraft 26.2. Target HP Display is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source.

Time Stat Display is client-side only for 26.1.2 under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is open source. Both differ from Target HP Display in scope and version, since Target HP Display targets the aimed player's health on 26.2 under the Apache License 2.0.
