How do I install Health HUD?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on Modrinth — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Health HUD work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

HealthHUD

See the health of every nearby entity at a glance — floating hearts above their heads and damage numbers that fly off when they take a hit.

Features

Health Bars

Floating hearts rendered in world space above every living entity. Supports multiple display modes:

Hearts — classic heart icons that fill and empty with health
Numeric — shows 12.5 / 20 style text
Percentage — shows health as a %

The bar colour shifts from green → yellow → red as health drops.

Floating Damage & Heal Numbers

When an entity takes damage, a red number drifts upward from them. Healing shows a green number. Both fade out smoothly and drift at a configurable speed. No dark background — just clean coloured text in the world.

In-game Settings GUI

Open the settings screen any time with /healthhud. Adjust everything without touching a config file:

Setting	Description
Health Bar Mode	Switch between Hearts / Numeric / Percentage
Damage Numbers	Toggle damage numbers on/off
Healing Numbers	Toggle healing numbers on/off
Bar Position	Above / Below / Left / Right of the entity
Health Bar Size	Scale the hearts up or down
Damage Number Size	Scale the floating numbers
Entity Offset	Push the bar closer or further from the entity
Float Speed	How fast damage numbers drift upward
Hearts Per Row	How many hearts per row before wrapping

Usage

Open settings: /healthhud in chat or the chat bar
Hearts are shown for all living entities within 32 blocks
Your own health bar is hidden in first-person view
