Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the health display under player names?
The health display activates automatically once the data pack is loaded into your world. You should see red hearts appearing beneath all player nametags in multiplayer immediately—no configuration needed.
Why do some hearts look darker than others?
Darker red hearts represent half-heart damage values, while brighter red hearts are full hearts. This color distinction lets you quickly assess whether a player has taken partial damage without counting individual segments.
What are the yellow hearts under player names?
Yellow hearts are absorption hearts granted by eating golden apples or enchanted golden apples. They appear on top of your regular health pool and disappear once that temporary shield is depleted.
Does this data pack work in single-player or only multiplayer?
This data pack is designed for multiplayer environments where you need to see other players' health. In single-player, you already have access to your own health bar, so the mod provides limited utility.
