Adding extra health to a player

Dear Bukkit Developers,
I am trying to add extra health to a player in Minecraft, but I want a huge number. Like 1000 hearts, if I use the setMaxHealth() method it will show the health of a player using the health bar. If you use a huge number like 1000 it will cover a big part of your screen. Is there any way to fix this? I just want a player to have a 1000 hearts, if its possible also displaying this under the playername, but this is possible with a scoreboard I belive.

Sorry if my english is bad, it's not my native language. Please correct my english if I'm wrong.

 

TGlev One option is to use health scaling : Player#setHealthScale(double) and Player#getHealthScale()

 

Another option is to virtually give the player the 1k health. Make a damage listener and check if the player that has got 1000 health is damaged, then recount rthe damage and apply the recounted damage to him.

Or you could just use this: http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/apidocs/org/bukkit/entity/Damageable.html#setMaxHealth(double)
