By default players are sent health packets for other players around them as well as animals. Players can download mods which take those packets and use them to display players/animal health. This information gives players an unfair advantage in pvp and is just extra information vanilla players don't get.
Describe the solution you'd like.
A new paper global setting which blocks these packets seems like something that would be at home in paper. Some servers display health already with TAB so it isn't something that all servers need. However, for servers which don't display player or mob health like how it is in vanilla, these mods are an unfair advantage.
This config setting would be in the anticheat section of paper global and is very similar to the existing obfuscation settings. The config would look something like this.
enable-health-obfuscation: false
overrides:
also-obfuscate: []
dont-obfuscate:
- wolf
- iron golem
A plugin was already made which does this but it is seemingly abandoned. That plugin's code is very lightweight although not saying that you would copy it, more-so that its not a large feature at all.
Describe alternatives you've considered.
This is the plugin I mentioned. https://github.com/NoahvdAa/HealthHider
It is the only way of doing this that I am aware of. I think this fits better as a paper feature in that it is a security/protection feature which isn't that complex. To me its on the same level as the other paper anticheat features. A friend even thought that the item obfuscation included health.
