[CNS UPDATE] Minecraft Health Bar: RESPAWNED — hud for Deadlock
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." -- Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jurassic Park, 1993). Have you ever thought to yourself, "Man, Deadlock is nice, but I wish the health bar was replaced with a Minecraft one?" You haven't thought that? Well, too bad! Introducing... Minecraft Health Bar: RESPAWNED. This mod Minecraft-izes various parts of the Deadlock HUD. Features include, but are not limited to: Health Bar converted to Minecraft hearts (works with regen health from Healing Rite as well as deferred health from Shiv). Barrier Bar converted to absorption hearts. Hunger bar displays stamina. XP bar displays boon level and progress towards next level. Ability and active items displayed in inventory hotbar. This mod should work properly on 16x9, 16x10, and 21x9 aspect ratios. If you have any issues or suggestions, please leave a comment. I'll try to read as many as I can. If you have screenshots you would like to share, please send them to me over Discord at @bytenode. I might add them to the mod page!
Compatibility
Model replacements are the first thing to break when Valve edits a skeleton, so re-check after each patch. It conflicts with any other mod replacing the same asset — two in the addons folder means whichever loads last wins, and the other one silently does nothing.
Is it safe
It is client-side: the file lives on your machine and other players see the default game. Cosmetic addons have not produced bans, but Deadlock is in active development and nothing about mods is officially supported. Keep a copy of the folder before a patch and remove it if the game stops launching.

Frequently asked questions
How do I install [CNS UPDATE] Minecraft Health Bar: RESPAWNED?▾▴
.vpk into game/citadel/addons and name it pak01_dir.vpk. That folder only loads once gameinfo.gi lists it, which is a one-time edit — check the install guide.Is [CNS UPDATE] Minecraft Health Bar: RESPAWNED safe to install?▾▴
.vpk is a data archive, not a program, so it cannot execute code the way an installer can. The risk is provenance. This one has 35,716 installs, so a problem would have surfaced on its GameBanana thread. Mods with almost no downloads from accounts with no history have had none of that scrutiny.Will other players see this mod?▾▴
Can I run it alongside other mods?▾▴
pak01_dir.vpk and pak02_dir.vpk installed, pak01 wins and the other does nothing.Does it still work after the latest patch?▾▴
gameinfo.gi and remove your search paths, which stops every manually installed mod at once — redo that edit and they come back. Separately, model replacements break first when Valve edits a skeleton; recolours and HUD mods usually survive. The author posts updates on the GameBanana page.Where does the download come from?▾▴
How do I remove [CNS UPDATE] Minecraft Health Bar: RESPAWNED?▾▴
.vpk from game/citadel/addons, or toggle it off in the Deadlock Mod Manager library. Mods never overwrite game files, so nothing needs repairing afterwards.
