Better Health Bar For Forge
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16–1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
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.
Look at an entity to see its current HP!
By performing the keybind that comes with this mod (by default "i") you can change the position and size of the gui!
And by performing the other keybind (by default "u") you can disable the health bar gui and then enable it again by pressing the keybind again!
