Manual

Template:Exclusive Template:IN, a bossbar can be created manually using the Template:Command command.

Components

Color

The color of a bossbar depends on which boss mob or event is active:

• the ender dragon has a pink bossbar,
• the wither has a light purple bossbar Template:In, or a dark purple bossbar Template:In,
• the raid bossbar is colored red.

Style

A bossbar has a style attribute. It can be either "progress", "notched_6", "notched_10", "notched_12" or "notched_20". The value "progress" creates a clean bar, while the other ones create a notched bar with 6, 10, 12 or 20 segments.

The ender dragon and wither own a "progress" bossbar. The bossbar shown during a raid uses the "notched_10" style Java Edition, and the "progress" style in Bedrock Edition.

ID system

A bossbar has an ID, which can be used to do certain actions with one bossbar. An ID is not shown on the bossbar.Template:Verify

Removal

Natural

A bossbar for the Minecraft:ender dragon or Minecraft:wither can be removed by killing it. A bossbar for a Minecraft:raid can be removed by completing the raid, which is to kill all the raiders involved in this raid.

Bossbars also disappear after the player is too far away from the boss or raid.

Manual

A bossbar can be disabled by using Template:Command.
