This is only an issue for me when mining with a fire beetle. Using the beetle to smelt ore activates the healthbar and it remains showing unless I do something like mount the beetle. Ocassionally, the healthbar prevents me from mining a spot. Yes, I could just move the beetle and have it stay, but if I could turn off the healthbar, I could just mine with no issues. Thank you for you time.
You can dock the health bar for the beetle under the "Pets" docking tab. Click the arrow in the header of the "Pets" tab to close the tab. This way you can use your pets without having their health bars onscreen. Click the arrow in the header again to expose the health bar(s) when needed.
You are not getting it. Target a creature- you will see a small red bar, which represents its health. It is a separate item from the health bar you are talking about. Target several creatures, each one you target that bar will appear. you have to mount or kill or go out of range presumably for the bar to disappear, you cannot move it from its location at the bottom on the creature. It precisely because you CAN'T move it that is causing the issue. You can't click on, target or move item that is below this stupid little bar.
Bingo, we have a winner. Thank you Mariah and Arroth. It is definitely the cursor targeting system. I found that if you use a shovel like you are mining and target any mobile it triggers this bar. As for workaround, I could do the ore on a hotbar, but that would require one space for each type ore. After I clear mind with coffee, will look at the other solutions suggested, a simple resource/stored would be nice.
