zpxwz Health Indicator
by zpxwz
zpxwz Health Indicator shows the health of nearby entities as a visual status indicator, and the player can switch it on and off with a key.
What it does
The indicator displays a simple health readout so a player can check the condition of mobs and players without opening menus. The display is toggled with the F7 key, and the F8 key opens the configuration menu, which is also reachable through Mod Menu. A self nametag option shows the player's own health, and the author describes the overall look as simple yet elegant.
Only the client needs the mod, so a server does not have to install it and players can join without it. The mod is published for Fabric only, for 16 release versions 1.21 – 26.2, with 1.3.1+26.2 as the latest file for 26.2. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
To install it, a player places the jar file in the mods folder. Because Fabric is the only loader it targets, a Forge or NeoForge setup cannot run it.

Keeping an eye on a party
Players in a multiplayer session can watch each other's health through the self nametag and entity readouts.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want a small health display for mobs and other players. Because it is client-side only, it suits anyone playing on a server that does not run mods.
