Health Indicator Next Mod (26.3, 1.21.1) – See Enemy Health and Armor Overhead

Health Indicator Next Mod puts clear health and armor meters directly above living mobs and players in your world. This client mod lets you track enemy status at a glance using classic hearts, numbers, or status bars. You can customize the look, colors, and visibility rules to match your combat needs without cluttering your screen.

Features:

• Three Display Styles: Choose between classic heart icons, simple numeric values, or clean status bars.
• Armor Tracking: Displays equipped defense values alongside regular hit points.
• Shows extra protection layers like golden absorption hearts in their own row.
• Changes icon colors when mobs suffer from poison, wither, or freezing status effects.
• Shakes and flashes warning colors when a target drops to critical health levels.
• Keeps invisible mobs hidden unless they put on pieces of armor.
• Caps long heart rows on tough bosses with a simple counter number.
• Hides meters until you look directly at a target or hit it in battle.
• Lets you set custom colors for fills, text, and background boxes.
• Includes separate blacklist filters for specific mob types and player names.

Display Modes:

• Icons mode: shows vanilla-style heart and shield rows above targets.
• Numeric mode: shows exact health values or current and maximum hit point numbers.
• Bar mode: displays filled progress bars with optional labels and segments.
