Leave My Bars Alone
by Fuzs
While riding a horse, the food bar stays on screen, and the experience bar comes back when the jump meter is idle, thanks to Leave My Bars Alone.
What it does
The mod changes the HUD shown while mounted. The food bar stays visible at all times, and the mount's health display moves aside to make room for it. A player can track both the mount and personal needs without losing either readout.
When the jump meter is idle, the mod brings the experience bar back, so the space the meter would leave empty is filled again. The mod runs on the client alone, and Fabric, Forge and NeoForge builds cover 1.18.2 – 26.3 under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Its code is open source. Fabric API is required on Fabric, Forge Config API Port is required on Fabric, and Puzzles Lib is required on Fabric and NeoForge.
Key features
Visible food bar
The food bar remains on screen while the player is mounted on a horse or another rideable creature.
Relocated mount health
The mount's health display moves out of the way so both readouts can be shown together.
Experience bar restore
The experience bar returns whenever the jump charge meter is not active, so the screen space is used.
In-game settings
Where a config is offered, options can be changed in game through the mod menu.
