Considering the MASSIVE amount of heart visuals that this mod inadventently breaks; maybe instead of trying to include each one, you add a method that allows for other mods to impliment a method to render with Overflowing Bars changes to the heath and armor UI elements.

This would be eliminate the need for the author of this mod to update it and leave it to the developers of the addons todo it. The primary issue from what I heard is that whatever is being done is overwriting the code that other mods are adding to the UI. A logical sollution would be some method to addu custom support simular to an addon behavior.

From what I understand:

The mod acts in ways that mess with the same code that other mod authors add custom heart overlay effects adds and either suppresses them or causes them to render very oddly (refer to Eidolon and Farmers Delight niche cases).

Instead of trying to implement support on a growing number of mods that may have their visuals break, it would make logical sense to have some kind of hook or methods to allow mod developers to integrate support through their end through Overflowing Bars.

This would therefore eliminate a majority of the reports regarding heart renders being messed up.

Please consider this

Maybe this would be good to have in Fabric & NeoForge directly.
Should be pretty simple, as it's generally just the heart texture and a check for the player when to apply that.

It would be nice too if there was something for 20.1 as well as its still a hot version for modding atm.

also thank you for conisdering this in general. Mod devs will thank you for this
