WorldPedia
by HornexDEV
WorldPedia shows a compact health indicator above the names of mobs and players, drawn with the default Minecraft name tag text style.
What it does
Each living entity gets a clean readout of its current health directly above its name, showing the exact value in real time as it changes. The readout matches the vanilla look, so it blends with name tags already in the game.
The mod is a Fabric client-side addition, so only the player who installs it sees the indicators. Servers run without it, and players can join multiplayer servers that do not have WorldPedia installed. Fabric API is required and must be installed alongside it.
Builds exist for 8 release versions, 1.21.4 – 1.21.11, and the latest Fabric file targets 1.21.11 on the alpha channel. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Health above mobs and players
Every living entity shows its health above its name tag, so a player can check a mob's state without attacking it.
Exact live values
The readout uses full numeric health and updates as damage is taken or healing applies.
Vanilla-style text
Indicators use the same plain text format as default name tags, keeping the interface consistent with the base game.
Client-only operation
The display runs entirely on the player's side, so it works on multiplayer servers without any server-side install.

Use cases
Multiplayer play
Players on a server without WorldPedia can still use the indicators, because only the client needs the mod.
Combat checks
Health readouts above hostile mobs help players decide when to retreat or continue an encounter.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want health values visible above mobs and other players, and who prefer a display that matches the vanilla name tag style.
