TKVM Health Warning

by TheKushVanMan

TKVM Health Warning gives players a visual and sound alert as their health drops, through screen effects and a heartbeat.

ForgeClient-side onlyMIT License1.20.1 – 1.20.6

What it does

The mod ties screen effects and audio to the player's remaining health. Taking damage strengthens a vignette over the screen, and below five hearts a heartbeat sound begins to play. At three hearts, the view turns grey with fog, and ash particles appear alongside it. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it.

The effects and sound levels can be adjusted through a config file that uses YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) as an optional dependency. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with version 2.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest build. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Damage vignette

    Each hit taken increases the strength of the screen vignette, making the danger visible at a glance.

  2. Heartbeat warning

    Once health falls below five hearts, a heartbeat sound starts playing to signal low health.

  3. Low-health visuals

    At three hearts, the screen greys out with fog and ash particles, and the effects can be tuned in the config.
