UltimateHealthDisplay

** 🎮 UltimateHealthDisplay - Complete Plugin Description

📋 Overview

UltimateHealthDisplay is a premium-quality, highly optimized health display plugin for Minecraft Paper servers (1.21-1.21.11). It elegantly shows the health of any entity (mob or player) you're looking at directly in your action bar, featuring multiple beautiful display styles, extensive plugin compatibility, and performance-first design.

Unlike basic health display plugins, UltimateHealthDisplay seamlessly integrates with popular custom mob plugins (MythicMobs, LevelledMobs), respects region protection (WorldGuard), and intelligently avoids conflicts with other action bar plugins.

Lines	Pipe-based indicator	`Creeper - [│││││││││││]`

🐛 Troubleshooting

Health not showing:

Check you have uhd.use permission
Verify show-mob-health/show-player-health are true
Ensure you're not in a blacklisted WorldGuard region
Check console for errors

Wrong health values:

Make sure custom mob plugins are installed (MythicMobs, etc.)
Verify plugin hooks initialized (check console on startup)
Report the specific entity type on GitHub issues

Flickering display:

Set override-action-bar: false in config
Disable conflicting action bar plugins
Increase update-interval-ticks to reduce update frequency

Performance issues:

Increase update-interval-ticks to 15-20
Reduce max-raytrace-distance to 30-40
