HealthBar Display

What Does This Mod Do?

HealthBar renders floating health bars above every mob and NPC in Hytale, displaying their current and maximum HP. The bars update instantly as entities take damage or heal, giving you precise combat information.

The plugin is designed to be lightweight and handles cleanup automatically - health bars are removed when mobs die, and orphaned displays are cleaned up when entities disappear.

Key Features

Real-Time HP Display

  • Shows current / max HP above entities
  • Updates instantly as damage is dealt or healing occurs
  • Clear visual feedback during combat

Smart Positioning

  • Uses entity’s eye height for accurate placement
  • Works correctly with different mob sizes
  • Configurable vertical offset to prevent clipping

Automatic Cleanup

  • Health bars removed when mobs die
  • Orphaned holograms cleaned when entities unload
  • Old holograms from previous runs removed on startup

Respects Game Logic

  • Disabling removes all existing holograms
