XDBar

by Lukiiy

XDBar changes how the experience bar and the locator bar look and where they sit, for players who want a cleaner HUD.

FabricQuiltClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.6 – 26.3

What it does

The mod makes small visual tweaks to the XP and locator bars. It can change the color and vertical position of the level number, toggle a shadow or outline around it, and decide whether the experience bar still shows while the locator bar is active. Waypoints on the locator bar remain visible. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt across 11 release versions, 1.21.6 – 26.3, with Fabric API and Mod Menu as optional companions.

Key features

  1. Level indicator styling

    Adjust the color of the level number and toggle a shadow or outline to make it easier to read.

  2. Vertical position control

    Move the level indicator up or down to clear space around the hotbar and other HUD elements.

  3. Locator bar options

    Choose whether the experience bar stays visible while the locator bar appears, while waypoints remain shown.

Questions

Does XDBar need Fabric API?

Fabric API is listed as an optional dependency, not a required one, so the mod can be installed without it.

Does XDBar have to be installed on the server?
