Classic Bar Unofficial

# Classic Bar Unofficial A **NeoForge 1.21.1** community port of Tfarcenim's Classic Bar. Clean, readable progress bars replace Minecraft's default icon HUD — hearts, armor, food, air, and more. --- ## What It Does Classic Bar replaces the traditional icon rows on your HUD — hearts, armor pieces, food drumsticks, air bubbles, and other status symbols — with **continuous progress bars**. The health bar scales dynamically with your maximum health instead of locking at 20 points, giving you a cleaner, more information-dense HUD at a single glance. Originally created by Tfarcenim for Minecraft Forge, this community fork updates the mod to **NeoForge 1.21.1**, adds new mod integrations, and provides ongoing maintenance. --- ## Why Download - **Dynamic health scaling** — the health bar adjusts to your actual max HP, not a fixed 20 - **Deep customization** — every bar can be positioned left, right, or hidden; colors, number display modes, icon toggles, and overlay effects are all configurable through an in-game GUI - **Extended mod support** — five additional mods now have dedicated bar integrations (see below) - **Better readability** — continuous bars are easier to parse at a glance than scattered icon rows - **Cleaner look** — reduces visual clutter while keeping all information accessible --- ## Features ### Native Status Bars (8) - **Health** — Scales dynamically with max health; poison/wither/frozen overlay effects - **Armor** — Configurable number of armor layers - **Food** — Hunger icon variant; food preview when holding edible items - **Saturation** — Sub-bar below the food bar - **Air** — Underwater breath indicator with flashing warning - **Armor Toughness** — Secondary damage reduction stat - **Mount Health** — Health of horses, striders, llamas, and other mounts - **Absorption** — Absorption hearts shown as a progress bar ### Mod Compatibility - [**Thirst Was Taken**](https://modrinth.com/mod/thirst-was-taken) — thirst bar + hydration sub-bar + drink preview - [**Vampirism**](https://modrinth.com/mod/vampirism) — blood level bar (replaces the food bar when in vampire form) - [**Farmer's Delight**](https://modrinth.com/mod/farmers-delight) — golden nourishment overlay on the food bar - [**Kaleidoscope Cookery**](https://modrinth.com/mod/kaleidoscope-cookery) — red satiation-compensation overlay on the food bar - [**Enigmatic Legacy+**](https://modrinth.com/mod/enigmatic-legacy-plus) — Forbidden Curse hunger overlay (mutually exclusive with blood/food) ### Multi-Effect Icon Stacking Poison, Wither, and Freezing icons automatically stack side-by-side on the health bar. Similarly, Hunger, Nourishment, and Satiation-Compensation icons arrange themselves on the food bar — no overlapping mess. ### Food & Drink Preview Hold a food item in your hand to see exactly how much hunger and saturation it will restore, shown as a preview overlay on the bars (similar to AppleSkin). ### Custom Pixel Number Fonts Choose between **3x5** and **3x5_tiny** bitmap fonts for a compact, retro-looking numeric display on the HUD. ### Full Chinese Translation Complete **zh_CN** localization of the entire UI and configuration menu. ### Debug Toggles (8) Developer-only switches for testing bar behavior and HUD rendering — available only in a development environment. ### Code Quality Improvements Compared to the original Forge version, this fork brings: - Centralized registration system (ModOverlays, ModIcons, ModConfigs) - Spotless automated code formatting - Gradle version catalog for unified dependency management - Access Transformer infrastructure - Data generation framework --- ## Configuration Highlights - Every status bar: **LEFT** / **RIGHT** / **HIDDEN** - Custom color picker for each bar - Number display modes: **Current value only** / **Current + Max** / **Percentage** - Per-bar icon toggle - Per-bar overlay effect toggle - Full configuration GUI — no manual file editing required --- ## Requirements - **Minecraft:** 1.21.1 - **NeoForge:** 21.1.228+ - **Side:** Client-side only (no server installation needed) --- ## Credits - **Original author:** [Tfarcenim](https://github.com/Tfarcenim) - **Original project:** [Classic Bar (Forge)](https://github.com/Tfarcenim/ClassicBar) ## License **GPL-3.0-only** — This fork is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0.
