Custom Bossbar Tutorial

How do you design your own bossbar? Like, make cool textures, bigger, cooler bossbars? Here's a brief tutorial:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Bi-WRIMqzeBNLi7vST_SSvO5OIIiG0O5/view?usp=sharing

In short:

  1. Design the texture for an empty bossbar
  2. Utilise text variables to render the bar itself

    This can likely be used to make other types of bars too.

Notes:

-This method clashes with regular bossbars, so it will always render fine, it just looks a bit weird with other bosses. And if you use multiple mods that use this technique, those bossbars will likely overlap.

-If multiple of the same bosses spawn, the closest one is prioritised. Of course, it's possible to add extra bossbar rendering options, but the code gets a bit complicated and out of hand for a short tutorial, and I'd need a bit more thinking time too lol.

If you have questions or something is unclear, please send the timestamp and what's confusing, or just ask directly exactly what the problem is (and be extra specific so I can help you to the best of my ability).
