Description

Heartline

See every mob's health at a glance. Heartline puts a clean health bar above each mob, pops up damage numbers when you hit, and shows a target panel that tells you how many more hits a mob takes with whatever you're holding.

Heartline is a client-side mod for Minecraft on Fabric, NeoForge and Forge, so it works on any server. It is compatible with Mod Menu on Fabric.

Supported versions: 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.20 to 26.3 on Fabric, 1.21 to 26.3 on NeoForge, and 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1 on Forge.

Features

  • Health bars above mobs - drawn flat on your screen, so they stay sharp and readable at any distance.
  • 10 bar styles - Flat, Segmented (one notch per heart), Slim, Pip, Outline, Glass, Neon, Capsule, Gauge (a tick per heart) and Bracket.
  • Colors by health or by mob type - green to yellow to red as a mob gets hurt, or red hostile, yellow neutral, green passive, blue players, purple pets and bosses.
  • Damage trail - the health a hit took stays visible for a moment, then drains away, so you can see how much each hit did. The bar flashes white on a hit and glows green on a heal.
  • Damage numbers - numbers float up beside the mob. Your critical hits show in gold with a "!", heals show in green.
  • Combos - quick hits on the same mob stack into one growing number with a hit count, like "20.3 x3", instead of a pile of small numbers.
  • Target panel - name, health, armor and a hits-to-kill estimate for the mob you're looking at or fighting. The estimate updates the moment you switch items, and turns gold at "1 more hit!". Put it top left, top center, top right or next to your crosshair.
  • Pet alerts - your tamed pets always show their bar, and a warning pops up when one gets low on health.
  • Only when you want them - show bars always, only when a mob is hurt, only in combat, or only on the mob under your crosshair. Bars hide behind walls.
  • Hide any mob type - type a mob's name in the settings to find it in any mod, browse the list sorted by mod, or look at a mob and press a key.
  • Client-side only - there is nothing to install on a server.

The settings live in config/heartline.json in your game folder. If the file is broken, the game still starts with the defaults and your old file is kept as heartline.json.broken.
