✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 5,185 endorsements and 159k downloads show it's a go-to for many players.
- Simple, focused feature: health bars on enemies' heads—exactly what it says, no bloat.
- Lightweight overlay mod, so it shouldn't tank your FPS or clutter your screen.
⚠️ Cons
- No details on customization—if you want to tweak bar size or color, you might be out of luck.
- Overlay mods can sometimes conflict with other UI mods or HUD tweaks, so watch for clashes.

For players who struggle to track enemy health in the heat of battle and want a clear, always-on indicator. Also great for streamers or content creators who want viewers to see enemy status at a glance. Skip if you prefer a minimal UI or already use a comprehensive HUD overhaul that includes health bars.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, just drop the file in and enable it—no extra steps needed.
- Check your in-game settings for any UI scale options to make sure the bars align with your resolution.
- Since it's an overlay, make sure to load it after other UI mods to avoid conflicts.
