Health Indicator+

See the health of every living entity — right above their head. Beautiful, lightweight, and fully configurable.

❤️ What is Health Indicator+?

Health Indicator+ renders real-time health displays above the heads of all living entities — players, mobs, and animals. Choose between three stunning display modes, fine-tune every detail in the premium built-in config screen, and enjoy buttery-smooth performance even in crowded PvP and survival environments.

Built from the ground up for Minecraft 1.21.11 using the modern rendering pipeline. No legacy hacks, no flickering — just clean, reliable health data exactly where you need it.

🎮 Three Display Modes

❤️ Hearts — Vanilla-style hearts floating above the entity. Shows containers, full/half hearts, and golden absorption hearts. Adjustable size and spacing.
📊 Bar — A sleek health bar with dynamic fill color that shifts from green → yellow → red as health drops. Optional segmented mode and HP label overlay.
🔢 Numeric — Clean text readout (e.g. 14.5/20) that billboards toward the camera. Perfect for competitive PvP where you need exact numbers.

Press H to instantly cycle between modes in-game. Your choice is saved automatically.
