I don't know my version or loader
GUI Followers is a client-side mod which shows a list of all tamed non-sitting following mobs around the player. By default it also shows the health of the follower as a percentage, and how many blocks it is away from the player. Fully configurable! You'll never accidentally leave your wolf buddy behind.
All available config options:
followerListHeaderFormat default "Followers:"
The header text above the follower list.
showFollowerHealth default true
If enabled, shows the follower's health in the GUI list.
followerHealthFormat default "
<health>%"): The format of the health string in the GUI. <health> will be replaced by the percentage of total health.
showFollowerDistance default true
If enabled, shows the follower's distance in blocks to the player in the GUI list.
followerDistanceFormat default " (<distance> blocks
The format of the distance string in the GUI. <distance> will be replaced by distance in blocks.
distanceToCheckForFollowersAround default 50, min -1, max 300
The distance in blocks around the player where the mod checks for tamed, non-sitting followers to add to the list. A value of -1 disables this feature.
timeBetweenChecksInSeconds default 2, min 0, max 3600
The time in seconds in between checking for tamed, non-sitting followers around the player.
followerListPositionIsLeft default true
Places the follower list on the left.
followerListPositionIsCenter default false
Places the follower list in the middle.
followerListPositionIsRight default false
Places the follower list on the right.
followerListHeightOffset default 20, min 0, max 3000
The vertical offset (y coord) for the follower list. This determines how far down the list should be on the screen. Can be changed to prevent GUIs from overlapping.
drawTextShadow default true
If the text displayed should have a shadow drawn below it.
RGB_R default 255, min 0, max 255
The red RGB value for the text.
RGB_G default 255, min 0, max 255
The green RGB value for the text.
RGB_B default 255, min 0, max 255
The blue RGB value for the text.
The wolf named buddy shown in the GUI:
The wolf buddy is currently at 85% health. I did feel a little bad about testing this.
Sitting entities will not be added to the follower list.
Long distances are supported.
And last but not least, a GIF showing the feature:
