About this Mod
🧠 About
Mob HP Display is a small, client-side Fabric mod that shows the health of mobs floating above their heads. It's designed to be clean, useful, and performance-friendly — perfect for survival, PvE, or farming setups.
⚠️ Note: This is my very first Minecraft mod.
I had no idea how to code when I started this — so while it works great, there may still be some wankiness. Feedback is super welcome!
✨ Features
- 🔍 Health shown when mobs are nearby (up to 6 chunks away)
- 🧱 Positioned not so cleanly above the head
- 🧠 Minimalist design, easy to read without cluttering your screen
- ⚙️ No config needed, just install and play
- 🛡️ Client-side only — doesn’t affect servers or other players
- ⚡ Lightweight — optimized for FPS, with no noticeable performance hit
🛠️ Why I Made This
It started as an experiment, and I ended up learning a lot about Minecraft modding, mixins, rendering, and gradle.build.
💬 FAQ
❓ Will other players see the HP?
Nope. It’s client-side only, so just you.
❓ Does it work with modded mobs?
Yes! As long as the mob is aLivingEntity, the mod will display its health.
❓ Is it configurable?
Not yet! It’s super basic for now — but maybe I’ll add a config later if people are interested.
❤️ Support / Feedback
If you find bugs or have ideas, I’d love to hear them!
This project is mostly me learning as I go — but I want to keep improving it.
