Features

This mod displays a highly-configurable health indicator (and optional armor indicator) above all entities that corresponds to their healths. The indicators have the following filters, where you can enable/disable visibility based on:

  • Entity Types (eg: minecraft:pig or aether:aerbunny)
  • Player Names
  • Entities that have been attacked,
  • Entities that have been damaged
  • Entities that you are looking at
  • Entities that are within a certain distance

You can also adjust the

  • Size
  • Offset
  • Indicator Type (Hearts | Number)
  • Percentage Based Health
  • Text Color

Futher QOL features:

The indicator changes texture and appearance based on the effects the entity has, just like vanilla. The indicator will

  • Turn green if the entitiy is Poisoned,
  • Black if they are Withering
  • Display yellow hearts seperately for Absorption.
  • Vibrate if the entity has Regeneration
  • Change textures for Hardcore.

All the above can be disabled in the config if you don't like it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Health Indicators need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Health Indicators 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 Health Indicators require?

Use a file for fabric, neoforge, quilt and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Health Indicators 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.
