Bossbar

Enhancing Minecraft's bossbar functionality by properly extending it to entities. No more complicated command block setups, lag-inducing detection logic, and poor attempts at recreating the real functionality. Now it works for real.

✅ Features

• Bossbars for entities display the name, current health, and maximum health of the corresponding entity
• Visibility range can be configured for entity bossbars, making them visible only to nearby players
• Default bossbars can be customized (see Configuration section)
• Thicken fog and darken skies with extended functionality for entity bossbars
• Server-side implementation means clients don't need to download the mod to connect
• Easy to use with the /bossbar command - just replace the bossbar ID with a target selector, and done!
• Optimized to almost lag-free performance compared to Minecraft's bulky command code
