Vital

Small, clean health bars above every mob, and unlike most health bar mods, they don't break the moment you turn on a shaderpack.

Vital stays minimal and readable while still telling you what matters in a fight: how much HP something has, how hard you're hitting it, and which enemies are the scary ones. It's client-side, so it runs fine on any server.

Features

• A tidy bar above each mob showing its current and max HP
• Tougher mobs get a wider, differently coloured bar (four tiers), so a boss looks nothing like a chicken
• A white "ghost" trail shows the health a mob just lost, so you can watch your hits land
• A green trail shows the health a mob just gained/healed
• Floating damage numbers that shift from white to red the harder you hit
  • Alternatively can be set to floating damage indicators with two modes (Float up vs Fling out)
• Bars show up when you hit or look at a mob, fade out with distance, and hide with F1
• They dim in the dark instead of glowing in caves
• Bars show absoprtion in gold (configurable)

Want clean boss bars too? Vital can optionally swap the vanilla boss bar for colour-coded ones, one per boss. Off by default.

Nearly everything is adjustable in-game: which mobs show bars, when they appear, the tier colours, scale, dimming, boss bars, and so on.
