Health Bars | Combat UI

See how much health a mob has left without opening a menu or guessing from combat.

Health Bars adds a lightweight Terraria-inspired combat UI layer to Minecraft Bedrock. When a mob takes damage, a pixel-art health bar appears above it, updates as health changes, and disappears after a short configurable delay.

The add-on includes three visual styles, optional player bars for PvP worlds, an optional HP number display, and an in-game settings menu opened with a command.

Features

• Shows pixel-art health bars above mobs after damage
• Updates the bar as the mob's health changes
• Three built-in visual styles: Terraria, Classic, and RPG
• Optional player health bars for PvP and multiplayer worlds
• Optional HP number display with current and max health
• On-hit mode keeps bars temporary and clean by default
• Always-visible mode can keep tracked bars on screen
• In-game settings menu, no config files required
• Settings are saved per world
• Lightweight behavior/resource pack pair

How to use

Install the .mcaddon, activate both the Behavior Pack and Resource Pack in your world, then fight normally.

When a mob takes damage, a health bar appears above it. The bar updates while the mob is alive and removes itself after the configured delay. Player bars are disabled by default so your own bar does not clutter normal gameplay.

Open the settings menu with:

/ztp:health-bars
/ztp:hb

The settings command is available to all players without operator permissions.

⚠️ Important: after changing settings, scroll to the bottom of the form and press Save settings.

Notes

Health bars are cosmetic only and do not change combat balance, mob health, damage, or loot.

The add-on uses a small scripted marker entity and a resource-pack billboard model to render the bar above the target. If you change settings, they apply to that world only.

Requirements

• Minecraft Bedrock Edition
• No additional behavior pack dependencies required
