About this Mod
This mod adds highly customizable hp bars above the mobs and players.
The health bar looks very simple, but has many inbuilt config options.
Configs will be generated after running the game at least once.
They can be found in the config/simplehpbar folder.
You can create as many config files as you want by copying one and rewriting the values in it, if you want mobs by your choice to have different bars.
By default only a default config will be generated that applies to every mob, one for some vanilla neutral mobs and one for some monsters (to show how whitelist/blacklist and other features works)
You can change the settings by the following
-max distance to render mobs
-position
-scale (width, height of everything)
-background (size, color, transparency, border-radius)
-hp bar (size, 3 colors for low-mid-high health value, transparency, border-radius)
-smooth hp bar for lost health (3 colors for low-mid-high health value, transparency, start time to change the smooth hp bar, decrease value)
-name (add text before the name, add text after the name, text-align, color, transparency, position, scale)
-current health text (add text before the health value, add text after the health value, text-align, color, transparency, position, scale)
-max health text (add text before the health value, add text after the health value, text-align, color, transparency, position, scale)
-health in percentage text (add text before the health percentage value, add text after the health percentage value, text-align, color, transparency, position, scale)
You can edit, create or delete configs in game within the editor that comes with this mod. (press H to open it by default)
