📋 About This Mod

✅ A tidy bar above each mob showing its current and max HP
✅ Tougher mobs get a wider, differently coloured bar (four tiers), so a boss looks nothing like a chicken
✅ A white "ghost" trail shows the health a mob just lost, so you can watch your hits land
✅ A green trail shows the health a mob just gained/healed
✅ Floating damage numbers that shift from white to red the harder you hit
✅ - Alternatively can be set to floating damage indicators with two modes (Float up vs Fling out)

# Vital Small, clean health bars above every mob, and unlike most health bar mods, they don't break the moment you turn on a shaderpack. Vital stays minimal and readable while still telling you what matters in a fight: how much HP something has, how hard you're hitting it, and which enemies are the scary ones. It's client-side, so it runs fine on any server. - A tidy bar above each mob showing its current and max HP - Tougher mobs get a wider, differently coloured bar (four tiers), so a boss looks nothing like a chicken - A white "ghost" trail shows the health a mob just lost, so you can watch your hits land - A green trail shows the health a mob just gained/healed - Floating damage numbers that shift from white to red the harder you hit - Alternatively can be set to floating damage indicators with two modes (Float up vs Fling out) - Bars show up when you hit or look at a mob, fade out with distance, and hide with F1 - They dim in the dark instead of glowing in caves - Bars show absoprtion in gold (configurable) Want clean boss bars too? Vital can optionally swap the vanilla boss bar for colour-coded ones, one per boss. Off by default. Nearly everything is adjustable in-game: which mobs show bars, when they appear, the tier colours, scale, dimming, boss bars, and so on. ### Works with - Fabric, NeoForge, and Forge (1.20.1) - Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21 through 1.21.11 - Client-side only. - On Fabric, grab Fabric API and Cloth Config (plus Mod Menu for the settings button) - On both Fabric and (Neo)Forge, grab Architectury API
