True Health
by RooXChicken
True Health shows the player's exact health as a decimal number on the HUD, where Minecraft normally rounds it to whole hearts.
What it does
Minecraft draws health as hearts, and a half heart can hide a fraction of a point, so a player may appear to have more health than they do. True Health displays the real health value as a decimal number, which shows how much health remains before the next heart is lost. The mod also shows the saturation level that drives natural healing, so a player can see when regeneration will start. It is a client-side only mod: only the client needs it, and a server runs without it.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public. Builds are published for Fabric only and cover 1.20 – 1.21.3, with 1.2.1 for 1.21.3 as the latest file.
Key features
Decimal health readout
The exact health value is shown as a decimal number, instead of only the rounded heart display.
Saturation display
The saturation level is shown next to health, so the player can tell when natural healing will occur.
Toggle keys
By default H toggles the health text and J toggles the saturation display, and both can be rebound.
