Colorful Hearts
A client side mod that replaces multiple vanilla heart rows with a single row using colored hearts
About this Mod
What does it do?
Colorful Hearts is a simple client side mod that replaces vanilla heart renderer which always adds more rows when the player has more than 10 hearts of health or absorption.
Instead of vanilla behavior the mod uses colored hearts to represent each row of health and absorption. These colors can be configured in a config file that accepts a list of hex #RRGGBB values.
Colorful Hearts also adds half heart background textures. This means that if there is only half a heart of absorption, it will not have a black background on the right as if there is something missing. Instead the black bordered background will only cover the left half of the heart icon.
Mod Support
If there is any compatibility issue, please notify me to see if support can be added. Please avoid reporting these issues to other mods as it is most likely caused by Colorful Hearts.

Does Colorful Hearts need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks Colorful Hearts as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does Colorful Hearts require?
Use a file for fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 1.21.11. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
Colorful Hearts is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
