I am making a plugin using scoreboards, I want the fancy hearts in the tab list using this: Objective hearts = sb.registerNewObjective("hearts",Criteria.HEALTH,"hp",RenderType.HEARTS); unfortunately, the hearts are gone until the player gets damaged. I tried what I saw in other threads like p.setHealth(p.getHealth()); or p.sendHealthUpdate(); but none of these make a difference. Is there a way to show the health right after setting the scoreboard?
@Ak1ra I have not done testing in this, but I assume the client only renders the hearts if the score is not 20 (i.e not full health). If it renders if a player is damaged and then gets healed, set health to 19 (9.5 hearts) for 1 tick before setting it back to 20. That should be a hacky fix to counter minecraft's hackiness.
