Read Your Health, Hunger, Armor and XP with the Mermaid HUD

The pack restyles every bar above your hotbar. They work exactly like vanilla, so you only need to learn the new look.

What Each Icon Means Now

• Pink hearts: your health. They empty from right to left as you take damage, just like the normal red hearts. Eat or regenerate to refill them.
• Green kelp pieces: your hunger bar, on the right side above the hotbar. Each kelp piece stands in for a vanilla drumstick. When kelp starts disappearing, it's time to eat.
• Seashells: your armor points, shown above your hearts. They only appear while you're wearing armor. Equip better pieces to fill more shells.
• Floating bubbles: your experience bar. It fills as you collect XP orbs, and your level number still shows in the middle.

Riding a Mount

Mount something with its own health, such as a horse. A row of sea foam green hearts appears where your kelp hunger bar normally sits. These are your mount's hearts, not yours, so keep two things in mind:

1. Watch the green row to know when your mount is getting hurt.

2. Remember that your own pink hearts still show on the left. Check both during fights.

3. Dismount to see your kelp hunger bar again.

If your armor shells or mount hearts are hard to see, raise GUI Scale under Options > Video Settings. This makes the icons larger.
