In addition to Brimbane's comment, what I'd really like is to have an option to make numbers or bar be shown above player's head. It would be very useful, since while playing you attention is mostly focused on your character, and seeing health and energy right over his head would mean you don't need to look in screen corner for quick energy check Right now I just move numbers in center of screen, but with how the game is, the screen quite often is not centered on player Not sure if that's possible, but I think if there's a mod for monster health bars then there is some way to do the same with player character
Some features would make this even better: - Generic Mod Config Menu integration (to avoid leaving the game to make adjustments ) - Toggle between top and bottom alignment (top: as is, bottom: prevents energy numbers from moving up when health isn't shown) - Optional second alignment value in case health is only shown on demand (so you can place the numbers next to the energy bar without having to leave a gap for the health bar) - Option to deactivate energy/health bars (has already been suggested several times before)
I'm using "survivalistic - thirst and hunger" mod and it makes lots of bar in right-bottom. This mod can a great solution to bar-haters. Enjoying this version as well but hope we see the mod with no bars - compatible to survivalistic mod. There is what's in my mind:
If I may make a request, could you put in a couple of options? One to make the font a bit bigger, and secondly to make the font white all around? The green and red are rather hard to see. especially on grass and dirt tiles respectively. Same for yellow on lighter tiles. Plus the small font doesn't help either for a visually challenged person like myself (me no see very gud).
So if there could be an option in the config file, something like 'whitefont=true' and largerfont=true', that would be very much appreciated. You could make it look the same size and color as the numbers that show when you mouse over the stamina meter.
Edit the config.json file in the mod's folder. You'll need to run the game once with the mod installed to have that file generate. A list of all the valid key options can be found here https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Key_Bindings
I wanted to have this as an option initially, but I think I'd have to start patching game code to make that happen, and I'm not comfortable with the API enough to attempt that yet. Maybe at some point I'll have a stab at it.
fix number floating in middle of screen / changing location copy pase this in the config ( i believe the fix was " "Scale": 0.97," lowering the scale. feel free to replace F6 / F7 keys
You're the second person to mention this "floating in middle of screen" thing, what actually is it? Because changing scale should do literally nothing if it's what I think it is. A picture would be very useful
i fixed it by playing around with the config for like 5 mins. i didn't touch it before just set showhealth to true and position 0, 0 well the "Position": "0, 0", just randomly changed to something like 482, 273 even tho i saved it to 0, 0. im not sure why! after i made this new config it stopped bugging I just linked it here so people would have a chance of a fix because its a great mod
The position is used to keep track of where the overlay is on the screen. It's not meant to be edited by hand outside of extreme circumstances. It should be moved with the Move Button instead.

Sometimes the numbers get mixed up with the map and it's difficult to see
(I'm using a health and stamina regeneration mod, but that shouldn't have any effect on the numerical stamina not showing up...)
