Target HUD is a tiny client-side overlay that gives you instant info on whatever your crosshair is pointing at.
- Aim at any entity within 6 blocks and a clean panel appears just above the crosshair.
- Shows the entity's name and, for named (nametagged) entities, the underlying type on a second line.
- For mobs/players/animals (anything with HP): a horizontal health bar that fills proportionally to current HP, plus exact numeric HP ("18 / 20 HP").
- The bar color reflects state of health - green above 66 %, yellow 33-66 %, red below 33 %.
- The name is color-coded by category:
- red - hostile mob (zombie, skeleton, creeper, ...)
- yellow - other players
- green - passive or neutral living entity (cow, sheep, villager, wolf, ...)
- white - non-living entity (item frame, painting, boat, minecart, ...)
- The panel hides automatically when you look away, open a screen, or press F1 (HUD-hidden).
- Toggle the whole feature with K.
