Description from the author on Modrinth

HealthCore

HealthCore shows the health of mobs and players in a clean, configurable way. Pick the look you like (hearts, a single heart with a number, or a bar) and decide where it appears: above mobs, below player names, in the action bar of whoever hits, or as floating damage numbers.

Features

Health above mobs

  • The mob's name tag turns into a health display when it takes damage, and disappears after a few seconds. You can also keep it always visible.
  • Six styles, selectable in the config:
  • heart: one heart and a number (❤ 13.0)
  • name-heart: mob name, heart and number (Zombie ❤ 13.0)
  • hearts: a row of hearts, including half hearts
  • name-hearts: mob name and a row of hearts
  • bar: mob name, a colored bar and the number
  • custom: write your own format
  • Mobs that already have a custom name (for example from a name tag) are left untouched.
  • The display is removed right before a mob dies, and from a mob that kills a player, so death messages and console logs stay clean.
  • Choose which mobs are ignored (the Ender Dragon, the Wither and armor stands by default).

Health on players

  • A heart and a number below the player's name (13 ❤), or the classic row of hearts. Optionally also in the tab list.
  • Uses the vanilla scoreboard health display, so it updates in real time.

Hit bar

  • Whoever hits a mob or a player sees the target's health in the action bar.
  • Each player can turn their own hit bar off with /healthcore toggle.

Floating damage numbers

  • Damage (and optionally healing) appears as numbers floating up from the target, with configurable format, speed and size.

Fully configurable

  • Hearts count, characters and colors, bar length, characters and color thresholds, decimals, and every text format.
  • All texts use MiniMessage: colors, gradients, bold and more.
  • Turn off the mob displays, the hit bar and the damage numbers in specific worlds.

Commands

Command · Description · Permission
/healthcore toggle · Turn your own hit bar on or off · healthcore.toggle (default: everyone)
/healthcore reload · Reload the configuration · healthcore.reload (default: OP)

The alias /hcore also works.

Placeholders

Use these in any format: `, , , , , and `.

Folia is not supported.

Notes

  • The player health display uses the main scoreboard (below-name and tab-list slots). If another plugin already uses those slots, turn off players.below-name or players.tab-list in the config.
  • Mob health is shown through the mob's custom name, so another plugin that renames mobs may conflict with it.
  • The default messages in config.yml are in Brazilian Portuguese and can be edited freely.

How to install Healthcore

  1. Make sure your server runs Paper and Spigot on Minecraft 26.x.

  2. Download the .jar file from Modrinth and put it in the plugins folder of your server.

  3. Restart the server. Avoid /reload, many plugins do not handle it well.

  4. Type /plugins in the console: Healthcore should be listed in green. Its config files are created in the plugins folder on the first start.
