Fancy Health Bar
I don't know my version or loader
FancyHealthBar
As of 1.2, Mod Menu is required to access the options menu. Without Mod Menu, you will be locked to default settings.
This client-side mod completely revamps the health bar with many new, configurable additions.
Health Bar Particles
The vanilla health bar is now available as the "Vanilla" health bar style. By default, hearts will splash into bits once removed. You can configure the particles however you want through the options menu.
Different Styles
You can choose between different health bar styles through the options menu. If you have any ideas of new health bar styles, feel free to open an issue on the issue tracker!
