About this Mod
Entity Hover Information
Entity Hover Information is a lightweight client-side NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that shows useful details about the living entity under your crosshair.
Features
- Shows the hovered entity or mob name in the top-left corner.
- Shows current and max health using Minecraft's vanilla heart HUD icon.
- Shows armor only when the entity has armor greater than 0.
- Hides health and armor values when they are not greater than 0.
- Keeps the last hovered entity information visible for 3 seconds after looking away.
- Uses a clean HUD layout with no background panel.
- Respects blocks between you and the entity, so information is not shown through walls.
- Uses a configurable default range of 64 blocks.
Configuration
The hover range can be changed in the client config file:
config/entity_hover_information-client.toml
Default Config
