Health Indicator Next is a client mod that shows configurable health and armor indicators above living entities. Health and armor can be enabled independently, so you can run just one or both.
Modes:
- Icons: Classic heart / armor icon rows
- Numeric: Clean numbers as a fraction (
20/20) or as a HUD style icon + value, with optional float precision - Bar: Compact HP / armor bars with optional labels, segmentation, and background
Colors & Effects
- Custom colors for health text, armor text, bar fills, bar backgrounds, and numeric backgrounds
- Separate colors for poison, wither, freezing, absorption, and low HP flash
- Low HP flash threshold, critical shake threshold, blink speed, glow padding, and shake intensity
- Optional low HP effects on heart icons (bar and numeric always support their own low HP feedback)
Visual Customization
- Shared indicator size, vertical offset, and row spacing between health and armor
- Per mode tuning for icon scale/spacing, bar width/height/scale, and numeric scale/background scale
- Optional empty icons, HP/armor labels, segmented bars, and numeric backgrounds

current/maxfraction - Optional float values for more precise HP readouts
