Changes hotbar to bars using vanilla shaders.


Optifine not required. #noptifine

May be used as base for your resourcepack. (it has a shader that changes layering of slots and adds layout for border of first slot)
It finally became possible after 1.20 cause of fixed rendering bug.

Bugs wanted.

I'm still alive.

Really clean idea — I like how the HUD uses bars instead of the default hotbar. The vanilla shader approach and no-OptiFine support make it even better for simple setups. For anyone working on colors or UI tweaks, I use this tool to grab and convert HEX/RGB/HSL quickly: Color Picker From Image

Would it be possible to add numerical values on the side of the bars?

Similar to the Simple Health Bar mod for 1.20.1?

It works great with your resource pack too

Broken on mc 1.20.2+ (HUD atlas was split into textures). A fix would be very welcome!

EDIT: Mojang Slicer tool seems to do the basic work of splitting into textures, however it requires manual intervention (a bit too much for me). This includes: Air (bubble) bar doesn't have an outline (probably done using shaders to begin with), hearts bar has black separators in-between (the end texture is repeated) and a few others cut off without a left/right border. Tool also acts a bit dumb, creating a wrong crosshair (which can be fixed just by removing the png) and a few other similar inconveniences. IMO it should be possible, but I'm a bit too unqualified for this (it's the first time I mess with resourcepacks).

Is there any way you could make the hunger bar just 1 pixel lower or something? cuz for me it shows as that and it's kinda infuriating

in the position_tex.vsh file you need to change one line of code:



Pos.y = float(int(Pos.y - corner.y * 9 + 2) / 5 * 5 + corner.y * 9) - 1;



to



Pos.y = float(int(Pos.y - corner.y * 9 + 2) / 5 * 5 + corner.y * 9) + 1;

can you steal the Proper bars texture pack and make it vanilla? he prob won't mind if you give credit since it's just a vanilla version of that texture pack, message him about it if you need. oh and one more thing, can you make it have a item durability xp bar?



Ps: can you teach me how you do it? cuz you're so smart if you can do this.
