5. Hide or remove
/scoreboard objectives setdisplay below_name
/scoreboard objectives remove hp6. Low health warning (repeating)
/title @a[scores={hp=..6}] actionbar {"text":"Low health!","color":"red"}Uses the hp objective from step 1. Players at 6 health (three hearts) or less see a red warning above the hotbar until they heal. Add /effect give @a[scores={hp=..6}] glowing 1 0 true so teammates can spot them.
Troubleshooting
- Shows 0 at first: health updates when it changes. Take a little damage or heal.
- Not under my own name: you only see it under other players.
- Bedrock: Bedrock scoreboards have no health criterion.
