Damage Indicator YS

Never guess how much health a mob has left again. Damage Indicator adds clean, vanilla-friendly health bars so combat feels more readable without turning Minecraft into a modded mess.





Damage Indicator YS is a lightweight vanilla Minecraft datapack that shows a clean red bossbar for your current target.

Instead of filling the screen with floating health text over every nearby mob, Damage Indicator YS focuses only on the entity you are actively looking at. The goal is simple: readable health feedback without cluttering the vanilla Minecraft experience.




Features

  • Focused bossbar display - Shows health only for the entity you are looking at.
  • Target name and HP - Displays the entity’s name, current health, and max health.
  • Damage feedback - Shows recent damage as Damaged -X.
  • Healing feedback - Shows recent healing as Healed +X.
  • Death feedback - Briefly shows 0 HP when a tracked entity dies.
  • Multiplayer-friendly - Uses a per-player bossbar system.
  • Optional player targeting - Player health display exists but is disabled by default.
  • No resource pack required - Works as a vanilla datapack.





Focus Mode Design

Damage Indicator YS is designed as a low-clutter alternative to floating health text datapacks.

Some health display packs show information over every nearby entity. This datapack takes a cleaner approach by only showing information for your current target. That makes it useful for survival worlds, combat, servers, and players who want health feedback without turning the screen into a wall of numbers.
