MobHealth

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.
Now with ActionBars!
If you have 1.8 bukkit/spigot then you can now enable actionbars by adding useActionBar: true to your config (or set to false to disable).
-
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: 9.1.0
Updater Information
Note that unless you edit MobHealth configuration it will automatically update as new versions are approved by the Bukkit team.
You can edit config.yml in the /plugins/MobHealth/ folder you can find the following settings.
updateCheck true- Show notification of available updates.
doUpdate true- Update MobHealth automatically when new download is available.
Change doUpdate to false to stop any file download, and updateCheck to false to stop notices about new versions in your startup log.
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"

You shouted for it - here it is, Epic Boss support.
Thanks to ThaH3lper for adding in an entire API for MobHealth.
Spout
If Spout-plugin is installed and the client uses SpoutCraft (and disableSpout is on its default false setting) then notification will be shown with the achievement notification (as seen above).
ZombieMod
Exclusive to Imagicraft's Zombie Apocalypse RP (Zarp) server, ZombieMod creates several variaties of Zombie to terrorise players trying to survive in this post-apocalyptic server.

MobHealth now supports the Client Mod simple notice. Lets you show the messages elsewhere so your chat is spam free.
Thanks to FeildMaster for the pull request :)
Heroes
Heroes health and levelled up HP's are reported correctly as are mobs whose health levels have been adjusted in the config. Use of a Heroes skill will trigger a notification when it damages.
Mobs
Mobs adjustments to health are now tracked and reported in MobHealth.
Thanks to coldandtired for adding in MaxHealth and an API for me :)
Mob Arena
Bosses in a currently running Mob Arena report correct health and max-health. As do waves with a modified reduced health.
Thanks to garbagemule for adding MaxHealth to mob area for me.

MobHealth detects wandering bosses and correctly reports their health and name.
Thanks to bm01 and Erackron for integration help.
Monster Apocalypse (6.0b+)
If Monster Apocalypse is set to handle mob's health then these values are used for MobHealth.

Stats Collection
Like many bukkit plugins, Mobhealth utilises Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:
- A unique identifier
- The server's version of Java
- Whether the server is in offline or online mode
- The plugin's version
- The server's version
- The OS version/name and architecture
- The core count for the CPU
- The number of players online
- The Metrics version
- The number of damage notices displayed (but not their content)
Opting out of this service can be done by editing plugins/Plugin Metrics/config.yml and changing opt-out to true.
Changelog

8.2.2: Added fallback code for potential missing new methods.

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 :)

Nope, they almost dropped Spout Plugin with the last update. Only due to ZNickq's skill/persistence and the Bukkit team help did they push out an update. The next major change to Bukkit - or too many MC updates and they'll have to drop it...

Yeah it is possible by putting it in the title to display over head - but that's via spout - and spout isn't gonna be around for much longer.
Once Mojangs own api is around then i'll be able to do it without requiring the player to use a non-'nilla client

But, some servers have the HP Bar just with Asci and some pictures. Also with Spout. So it has to be possible yet, i dont know how they do it, but they do it...

Posted Dec 30, 2012Is there a chance you could specify/add a permission node for toggling only yourself, and not others?

At the moment clients have no control over the client. When the new api arrives (mid to late 2013 at a guess) we'll be able to do a lot more.

Have checked and its not "broke on 1.4.6". You'll find that one of the supported plugins is not upto date.

Posted Dec 24, 2012@Pure_T Can you open ticked with error details please, I'm working on 1.4.6 this week - but lack of a Heroes Build for "real" CraftBukkit if making it hard to test as everyone's using a different workaround.
If you can gimme a paste of your server startup and the error that would help immensely.
