Animal HUD is a lightweight vanilla quality of life datapack that displays useful information about the passive animal you're looking at.
Simply look at a supported animal within range and a clean action bar HUD will appear, showing details such as health, age, ownership, variants, saddles, wool color, bee status, and much more. The HUD updates in real time and disappears automatically when you look away.
Designed to feel like an official Minecraft feature, Animal HUD works entirely through a datapack with no mods or resource packs required.
