Dynamic RPG Resource Bars
by muon-rw
Dynamic RPG Resource Bars puts animated health, stamina and mana bars on the HUD, and each bar can be reshaped in an in-game editor.
What it does
The bars are drawn on the heads-up display, and every bar sprite can be swapped out through a resource pack. A built-in editor in the game lets players adjust the bars in detail. The default bars follow a semi-vanilla medieval-fantasy style that matches the GUI resource pack used by the Medieval MC modpacks, so they can also be used as they come.
Compatibility extends to temperature overlays from mods built on Thermoo's temperature system, saturation and restore flashing from a food overlay mod, health and hunger overlays from a farming mod, and a blood bar for vampires from a magic mod. Required dependencies are Fzzy Config and Puzzles Lib. The mod is client-side only, so servers do not need it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20 – 26.1.2, and the code is covered by a custom license, so the mod is not open source.
