HealthScale

HealthScale

A lightweight Paper/Folia plugin that scales the health display in players' HUD — no matter how many actual hit points a player has, the heart bar always renders at the configured value. Designed for high-health RPG servers and fully compatible with Folia's multi-threaded region scheduling.

Features

• Global health-scale — set a single display value for all worlds
• Per-world overrides — different scale for each world (e.g. 80 hearts in your RPG world, 20 in the arena)
• Live reload — /healthscale reload reloads config.yml and reapplies to all online players instantly, no restart needed
• Runtime set — /healthscale set <value> changes the global scale on the fly without touching the config file
• Folia-native — all player mutations are dispatched through EntityScheduler; bulk operations through GlobalRegionScheduler
• MiniMessage — every message is fully customizable with MiniMessage formatting
• Configurable bounds — min-scale / max-scale guard against nonsensical values; invalid entries fall back gracefully

Requirements

The plugin is compiled against the Paper API and declares folia-supported: true, so it runs on both Paper and Folia.

Installation

1. Download the latest HealthScale-x.x.x.jar from Releases.
2. Drop it into your server's plugins/ folder.
3. (Re)start the server — a default config.yml is generated automatically.
4. Edit plugins/HealthScale/config.yml to your liking.
5. Run /healthscale reload to apply changes without restarting.

Commands

Aliases: /hs, /hscale

Scale value reference

The player's actual max HP is not affected — only the visual representation changes.

How it works

Minecraft's Player#setHealthScaled and Player#setHealthScale control how the client renders the heart bar. When set to, say, 80.0, a player with 2000 max HP will still see a full bar of 40 hearts — their HP is just mapped to that display range.

HealthScale hooks into PlayerJoinEvent, PlayerRespawnEvent, and PlayerChangedWorldEvent to (re)apply the correct scale at every relevant moment. On Folia, every state mutation is dispatched to the owning region thread via EntityScheduler to stay thread-safe.
