About this mod Author’s original text

Sideways Health Bar

Adds a horizontal health bar above the stamina and Eitr bars.

  • The health bar shows current / max health.
  • Like the stamina and Eitr bars, it grows evenly from the middle to both sides when food increases your max health.
  • The stamina and Eitr bars now show current / max instead of only the current value.

Anchors

Each bar can snap to TopLeft, TopCenter, TopRight, MiddleLeft, MiddleCenter, MiddleRight, BottomLeft, BottomCenter or BottomRight. Offsets are applied on top of the snapped position.

BottomCenter is the vanilla position. For the health bar it means "above the stamina/Eitr bars", so it follows their position and height. If you move the stamina/Eitr bars elsewhere, give the health bar an anchor too.

Other mods that move or resize HUD elements may change the bar positions; use the offsets to adjust.

Client-side only; not required on servers.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
