What it does

Boss bars appear on screen while a boss is in range, with a configurable text color and health bar color. A hotkey toggles the display, and the key is set to F7 by default. Settings are kept in a JSON file and can also be edited from an in-game configuration screen. The mod is client-side only, so only the player installs it and servers run without it. It needs Fabric API and JamLib, and it is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Builds exist for Fabric and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.1.

Key features

  1. Boss bar display

    Health bars for bosses are drawn on screen, so a fight can be followed without opening any other interface.

  2. Hotkey toggle

    A key, F7 by default, switches the boss bar display on or off during play.

  3. Colors and text

    Bar color and label text are set in a JSON file or through the in-game configuration screen, so each player can adjust them.

Questions
