ZakoHealthIndicator
by 3ako
ZakoHealthIndicator shows a health value on the HUD when a player hits another player in PvP, and the display can be styled and positioned in its settings.
What it does
The indicator appears on screen after a hit on another player. The health value sits in a colored HUD element that grows as the opponent's health falls low. Position, scale and how long the display stays visible can all be adjusted. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it and players join without installing anything on the server side. Files cover 1.16.5 – 26.3 for both Fabric and Forge, the source code is available, and the mod is released under the MIT License, so it is open source.
Key features
Hit health display
A HUD element shows the health of the player just struck during PvP combat.
Low-health scaling
The health value grows as the opponent's health drops, which makes a near-dead target easier to spot.
Adjustable layout
Position, scale and display duration are all configurable on the client.
