Player Health Indicators Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the health indicators?
The mod is active by default once installed, so health bars should appear above other players' heads automatically. If you don't see them, check your mod's config menu or key bind settings to make sure the display isn't toggled off.
Why can't I see other players' health bars?
Health bars only show for other players, not mobs or yourself, and they may be hidden if the player is too far away or behind certain blocks. Make sure you're close enough and have line of sight, and confirm the mod is enabled in your config.
Does this mod show mob health too?
No, this mod is specifically for displaying other players' health above their names. For mob health you'd need a separate mod.
Can other players see my health with this mod?
Yes, if they also have the mod installed, they'll see your health bar above your head the same way you see theirs. It works both ways between players running the mod.
Does the health indicator work on servers?
It depends on the server. On many servers the mod works client-side so you'll see health bars for other players, but some servers with anti-cheat or strict rules may block or restrict it, so check the server's rules first.
How do I change the position or style of the health bar?
Open the mod's config file or in-game config screen to adjust display options like position, size, and whether hearts or numbers are shown. The exact options depend on your config menu, so explore the settings there.
Is this mod allowed on multiplayer servers?
It's usually considered a client-side visual mod, but some servers treat any health display as an unfair advantage. Always check the specific server's allowed mods list before using it in PvP.
Does the health indicator cause lag or lower my fps?
It's a lightweight mod that only renders small health displays above players, so performance impact is typically minimal. If you notice lag, try reducing the render distance for the indicators in the config.
Can I hide the health bar for specific players or in certain situations?
Most configs let you toggle the display on or off, but per-player hiding usually isn't supported. You can disable the whole mod temporarily through its config or keybind if you need it off.
Why does the health bar show hearts instead of numbers?
The mod displays health using the same heart style as the vanilla health bar for consistency and readability. Some configs may let you switch to numeric values if you prefer exact numbers.
