Bossbar

Bossbar

Enhancing Minecraft’s bossbar functionality by properly extending it to entities. No more complicated command block setup, lag-inducing detection logic, and cheap attempts at recreating the real deal. This is the real deal now.

✅ Features

• Entity bossbars take the name, health and max health of its entity.
• Range can be specified for entity bossbars, meaning it’s only visible to local players.
• Default bossbars can be configured (see Configuration)
• Thicken fog & darken skies with the extended functionality given to entity bossbars.
• Server-side, meaning clients don’t need to download it to connect.
• Easy to use with the “/bossbar“ command, swap out a bossbar id with a target selector, and done!
• Optimized to a lagless extend, compared to Minecraft’s bulky command code.
