NOTE (1.20.1): While the mod specifically runs on the (Neo)Forge modloader(s), it also includes added support for Fabric mods with the help of Sinytra Connector. The lists provided below will indicate when a mod this mod supports runs exclusively on the Fabric modloader.

This mod serves as an addon to any mod featuring conspicuously resilient foes that don't quite qualify as true bosses and thus lack boss bars of their own, and does basically what the title of the mod says, by granting them their very own boss bars that track their health (like any other boss should)! This also includes vanilla's Elder Guardian and Warden. Additionally, true bosses that for whatever reason also lack a boss bar of their own have also been granted one to finally bequeath them that more appropriate and clear facade to their boss status that they so deserve.

It is also worth noting that the boss bars added by this mod do not necessarily work the same way as regular boss bars do, as they won't actually appear right off the bat as when any of the included mini-bosses spawn. Rather, the mini-bosses have to receive at least a single strike of damage from a player in order for the bars to show up. Should the player stray off into the distance at a minimum of 60 blocks from a mini-boss, their health bar will then vanish and require another blow of damage in order for them to reappear once more. These measures serve to prevent the redundancy of boss bars on a player's screen from enemies they aren't anywhere near inclined to provoking, thus rendering the bars obsolete by default.

For mob battles or other testing purposes, you may also run commands to toggle the boss bars on by demand. You can do this by:

Running the command /mbbbforceshowbossbars (1.20.1)
Running the command /trigger mbbbforceshowbossbars (1.21.1)

You can disable boss bars from showing up for certain bosses through:

• (1.20.1) The mod's config file (YOUR INSTANCE\config\mini-boss boss bars; common.toml)

• (1.21.1) Using the configuration data pack for the mod with its own set of instructions on how to utilize it: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/data-packs/mini-boss-boss-bars-configuration-datapack

The mod doesn't mandate the installation of every listed mod within each version simultaneously; rather, it adjusts to accommodate the ones that are currently installed.

Mods I thought of including support for but ultimately decided not to:

• Mutant More

Reason: The mod already comes with a config option to enable boss bars. Not to mention they even come with custom designs. Support for this mod would be redundant.
