Simple Health Indicator Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to do anything after installing the mod?
No – the mod works immediately after installation. Health indicators will appear above other players' names by default without any setup required.
How do I change where the health display appears?
Open the mod's configuration menu through Cloth Config (usually accessed via the mods screen or a dedicated config key). You can adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the health indicator relative to the player's name.
Can I show health as decimals instead of whole numbers?
Yes – in the mod's configuration settings, toggle the health format option to switch between decimal (e.g., 8.5) and whole number (e.g., 8 or 9) display.
What's the keybind to hide the health indicator?
By default, you can toggle the health indicator visibility with a configurable key – check your controls settings or the mod's config menu to see or change which key is assigned.
Why aren't health indicators showing up for other players?
Make sure the mod is enabled and other players are within render distance. If indicators still don't appear, check that the visibility toggle isn't turned off, and verify the mod is properly installed on both your client and the server (if applicable).
Does this mod work on servers?
Yes, the mod works on both single-player and multiplayer servers since it only displays information on your client side without requiring server-side installation.
Can I customize the color of the health indicator?
The mod displays health using the standard Minecraft health color scheme (green to red gradient). Color customization options depend on your mod version – check the configuration menu to see what's available.
Does the health indicator show for mobs or just players?
This mod is designed specifically to display health for other players only, not for mobs or animals.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
No – the mod is lightweight and only renders simple text indicators, so it has minimal impact on performance even with many players nearby.
Can I see my own health with this mod?
No – this mod only displays other players' health. Your own health is already shown in the standard Minecraft health bar at the bottom of your screen.
