BetterHP
Overview
BetterHP is a client-side Minecraft mod that fundamentally transforms how your health, armor, and hunger stats are displayed in-game. Instead of traditional hearts and armor icons, you get a modern numerical system that allows instant assessment of your character's condition.
No more need for overflow mods! BetterHP correctly displays values exceeding 20 health and armor points, perfectly synchronizing with your character's status.
Key Features
Precise Health Display — Your health is shown as exact numbers instead of approximate hearts. You'll always know exactly how much damage you've taken and how much health remains.
Numerical Armor Values — The mod shows your current protection level directly on the interface, eliminating guesswork about your damage resistance.
Absorption Effects — Additional absorption hearts from Golden Apples and other effects are displayed alongside your main health.
Accurate Hunger Tracking — Monitor your hunger level using numerical values, making food management more straightforward.
Dynamic Effect Colors — Visualization of status effects through text color changes:
- Wither effect: Dark purple color
- Freezing: Icy aqua tint
- Poison: Sickly green color
Flexible Positioning — Customize the placement of all numerical indicators for perfect integration with other interface elements.
Configuration File — Easily enable, disable, or customize any features according to your preferences.
How It Works
BetterHP integrates into Minecraft's standard interface, replacing default health, armor, and hunger bars. The mod intercepts the rendering process and provides numerical display of all key parameters, automatically adapting text colors to match active status effects.
