Health Bar Indicator

See every mob's health at a glance! Health Bar Indicator adds a dynamic, color-coded HP bar above every mob in your world. Watch health drain in real time as you fight, or keep track of your tamed animals, no guessing required.

About

Ever wanted to know exactly how much health that Warden has left? Or whether your tamed wolf needs food? Health Bar Indicator renders a smooth, percentage-based health bar directly above every mob's head. The bar updates in real time, follows the camera so it's always readable, and automatically scales for baby mobs — including the new big-head baby variants introduced in 1.21.80 (26.10). This is a pure resource pack, no behavior pack needed, no experiments required. Just apply it and play.

Features

Real-time HP tracking — Health bars update instantly as mobs take or recover damage
85+ supported entities — Covers virtually every vanilla mob in Minecraft Bedrock
Camera-facing billboards — Bars always rotate to face you for easy reading
Baby mob scaling — Health bars correctly compensate for the new 26.10 baby variant system (separate baby geometry, entity-level scaling, and big-head models)
Hidden in UI — Bars automatically disappear in inventory screens and spawn egg previews
Two display modes via subpack toggle:
- Player + Mobs — Shows health bars on all mobs AND other players
- Mobs Only — Health bars on mobs only (default)

🆕Updated (26.10)

The 26.10 update overhauled baby mob rendering with dedicated baby geometry, baby textures, and entity-level scaling. This broke health bars on baby mobs. v1.6 fully supports the new system:

40 baby variants updated — Cow, pig, sheep, chicken, wolf, cat, fox, ocelot, panda, polar bear, rabbit, turtle, llama, camel, horse, donkey, mule, dolphin, axolotl, bee, goat, hoglin, zoglin, mooshroom, sniffer, strider, squid, glow squid, villager, zombie, husk, drowned, piglin, zombified piglin, zombie villager, skeleton horse, zombie horse, and more
Health bar position & scale auto-adjusts — Each baby mob gets a uniquely tuned animation so the bar floats at the correct height regardless of entity scaling
Render controllers updated — Entities now reference the new v2/v3/v4 render controllers that handle baby geometry switching
Old baby animation controllers removed — Conflicting baby_transform, baby_scaling, and big_head animation controllers are stripped to prevent model glitches

Note

If another resource pack overrides the same entity .entity.json files, one pack's health bar or visuals may not display. Place this pack above conflicting packs for health bars to take priority.
