About this Mod
ENTITY HEALTH BARS
This Datapack adds health bars and damage/heal/absorption indicators to all entities in the world.
You have to be within 20 Blocks of the entity before they take damage/heal in order to activate the health bars and indicators.
Indicator colors:
- Red: Damage
- Green: Heal
- Yellow: Gained Absorption
- Dark Purple: Lost Absorption
Size of the health bars scale with entity max health, up to 40 segments for entities with 40HP or higher.
Using a mod like Player Ladder allows the Health Bar to appear on players (Number Indicators still work on players regardless of whether or not this mod is installed)
Health Bars and Indicators will not show up on entities under the effects of Invisibility
Toggle if health bars and damage numbers are visible through walls via:/scoreboard players set #aolu_hb aolu_hb_see_through x
- set x to 1 or below for see through (default setting)
- set x to 2 or above for not see-through
