Reading Health Bars and Heart Indicators
Once the addon is active in your world, you can track the exact health of nearby mobs and players during combat. Different display styles provide different types of visual feedback.
Understanding Health Bar Colors
When using the Health Bar or Combination style, the bar above an entity changes color dynamically based on the percentage of health it has left:
- Green: The entity has between 50% and 100% HP remaining.
- Yellow: The entity is moderately injured, with 25% to 49% HP remaining.
- Red: The entity is near death, with only 1% to 24% HP remaining.
Reading High-HP Entities
If you are fighting tougher mobs or custom bosses with large health pools, switch your pack settings to either the Heart Icon or Combination (Heart + Health Bar) mode. These modes include a numeric counter capable of reading up to 999 HP.
Visibility Rules
You do not need to worry about health bars cluttering your screen from far away or giving away hidden players:
- Render Distance: Health indicators only appear when you are within 20 blocks of the target. Stepping further than 20 blocks away hides the display.
- Invisibility: If an entity or player receives the Invisibility effect, their health indicator vanishes completely until the effect wears off.
