MobHealth

Notification

Mob Health

This simple but invaluable plugin lets you know the damage you just caused to a mob (including other players), and how much health it has left.

Mob Health has a range of useful options including:

Control over how messages are shown
When messages are shown
When messages are *not* shown (a useful feature!)
Exactly what is displayed - including your own custom messages...

Current Release Version: 6.1.2 NEW HEALTHBARS!! - Requires 1.5.1 r0.2+ (build #2736+)

Got API?

MobHealth now has 100% more API included!

You can trigger damage notifications, if your plugin adds skills or spells for example. And far more usefully - you can query MobHealth to get the current health and max health of any Mob, regardless of which plugin is responsible for tracking it.

Think of it as Vault for mob health levels ;) You code for one plugin - I sort out the mess behind the scenes.

See the API page for more info.

NEW healthbars!!

As frequently requested, MobHealth can now display health bars above Mobs, and a health counter for players.

PLEASE NOTE: If enabled - these bars show above ALL players / mobs, regardless of any toggle or permissions settings.

Enable this feature with the following flags in config:

showPlayerHeadHealth: true

Enables health counter display below player names.

usePercentForPlayer: true

Changes health counter from HP to a percentage of health left (recommended).

showMobHeadHealth: true

Enable health bars for all mobs.

useBarForMobs: true

If true, use a health bar in format of [||||||||||] if false, show in format of "10/20"

Download

Github no longer allows a "downloads" section, so I no longer mirror files there. If you'd like to test beta/dev versions follow me on twitter and ask there! But understand such files would not yet be approved by BukkitDev staff.

Known Bugs/Conflicts

Plugins that alter mobs health levels usually return false health levels.
The plugins listed above are supported.

Donations

Donations of any amount are, of course appreciated :)

Contributions go towards maintaining my development server to encourage continued development, MobHealth is solo coded by me, and supporting so many other plugin takes a fair bit of time. So if you think that time is worth something then Hit the dontae button in the top right of this page :)

@borigaro: Go

Can you add more info about what plugins you're using so i can see if theres any commonality.

In fact prolly gonna need a ticket for this.

Not sure why you felt the need to post a link to another plugin here - bit rude tbh. Heath Bar is an awesome plugin - I even traded bug fixes with the author, and if you just want health bars - his plugin is always gonna be a few features ahead of me. MobHealth's focus is damage notifications, health bars is just a logical extra feature and i will be adding more control options for the bars in the future.

@sablednah I have the same problem @malaxan is having, started the other day, can't see mob name (which i want to,) except here and there for a moment. Normally the name text is overwritten with red or grey hearts. I removed your mod, blew away the .yml files, reloaded the server, and verified i am running the most recent .jar. All to no avail. :(

This is an awesome plugin, but as always I have a few suggestions, I think support to disable Citizen npcs health bars should be added, and there should also be the option to disable health bar for a certain entity, Thanks you for creating this, it's deifnently in my top 5 fave plugins.

Health bars are prefixed by the mob name (ie, "Zombie Pigman: [||||||||||||||||]"). I find this a bit.. redundant for us, because we don't plan to have special named bosses, and we all know what a Zombie Pigman is :) It also shoves the bar way to the right of the name, which is very confusing if you're fighting a large group of mobs.

I think a feature in lang.yml to customize the format of the tag would be cool; something like.. tagFormat: "%n: %h" ...where %n is replaced with mob name and %h is replaced with health formatting.

Basically I -only- want health bars. No names, no notifications (which I have figured out how to disable, so no biggie there), just bars. If you'd like, I will set up a pull request for you.

Yeah side effect, damage reports is the plugins focus - healthbars was 'just' a complementary feature.

If forgot about squids (i always do!), serves e right for relying on instanceof Animal.

Can you explain more about what you envisioned (maybe in a pm?) at the moment you can turn on or off the health bar system to just leave damage notifications. - and disable them on villagers and animals.
