Notes
Data Sync
The following features will not take effect on servers because they are not synced in vanilla Minecraft
- Saturation and exhaustion
- Absorption of living entities
This plugin for Spigot/Paper server can sync saturation and exhaustion to client.
Compatibility
Due to the limitation of the API, this mod couldn't automatically turn off some third party's mod.
For a better experience, you will need to turn off their HUD manually.
Usually you can achieve this by setting the enable option in their config file to false.
For those mods that don't provide such an option, you may find offset or location options in their config file.
By setting these values to a large number(above 1000 is enough in most cases), you can move their HUD out of the screen, which is equivalent
to turning them off.
Known Incompatibility
Here are some known incompatibility with other mods, and currently there is no solution for them.
- Oculus: while using shaders, living entity's health bar may not display correctly.
Q&A
How to change the layout of HUD?
Press F8 by default, the HUD style will be cycled, include vanilla layout.
How to disable HUD or Entity Bar, I do only need one of the features?
HUD can be closed by pressing F8, Entity Bar can be close by pressing F10, you can also disable these features in the config file.
How to configure the mod in game?
For Fabric version, you'll need to install Mod Menu. For Other version, you can use any in-game configuration editor, such as configured.
The bars are too close and the text is stacking on each other.
You can change the text scale in config, 1.0 should be well with force Unicode, and I recommend 0.75 if you are using vanilla font.
How to change color in config, I don't understand what these numbers mean.
Colors are in ARGB hex format, but displayed as dec values. You can use Windows calculator, switch to programmer mode, click the 'QWORD' until it becomes 'DWORD', then click on HEX and input your ARGB color. The DEC value is just what you needed.

AsteorBar server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with AsteorBar – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if AsteorBar consumes the most tick time.
