About UltimateBossBar - The best boss bar plugin out there! Now supports all versions!
From SpigotMCEasy to use config, make your server awesome!
Requires AnimationLib
Uses Java 8
As some of you might have known, 1.9 makes it way easier to add boss bars to a player. This plugin takes full advantage of that!
If you don't have 1.9+ on your server, this plugin is still functional with some features (like boss bar color and style, multiple bars on top of each other etc.) not available.
Features
- Create unlimited boss bars!
- Hide bossbars from players with(out) a certain permission.
- Full PlaceholderAPI support. (I highly recommend using this plugin)
- Set a boss bar's title, color, style, health, max health and then some!
- Animations! This plugin supports full animations for nearly every option!
- Integrated API for creating and modifying boss bars!

Configuration
The default config will look something like:
<button type="button" class="button bbCodeSpoilerButton ToggleTrigger Tooltip JsOnly" title="Click to reveal or hide spoiler" data-target="> .SpoilerTarget">Spoiler: Big Image</button> ![[IMG]](https://proxy.spigotmc.org/d66d43ed51a9938c23196126214b829c973658a8?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.gyazo.com%2Ff43124ae213c283491289d45e6709346.png)
As you can see, for each new bar, the line starts with a dash (-). This just means a new list entry. There are a few keys which of you can take advantage:
<button type="button" class="button bbCodeSpoilerButton ToggleTrigger Tooltip JsOnly" title="Click to reveal or hide spoiler" data-target="> .SpoilerTarget">Spoiler: Keys</button>
Title
The title of the boss bar. Can be colored and, with PlaceholderAPI, supports placeholders. Supports animations
Color
The color of the boss bar. Can be animated.
Valid colors: pink, blue, red, green, yellow, purple, white.
This does not work in versions 1.8 and below. In those versions it will have the classic purple color.
Style
The style of the boss bar. Can also be animated.
Valid styles: solid, segmented-6, segmented-10, segmented-12, segmented-20.
This also does not work in 1.8 and below.
Health
The health of the bossbar, compared to Max-Health. Default value is 100. Can be animated ánd supports placeholders!
Max-Health
The max health of the bossbar. Default value is 100. Can also be animated ánd supports placeholders as well!
Darken-Sky, Play-Music, Create-Fog
Darken-Sky makes a player's sky go dark, Play-Music plays boss music when the bar appears, and Create-Fog gives players fog. Each one can be animated and can either be 'true' or 'false', so " Darken-Sky: 'true|false'"
NOTE: In 1.11, this system has changed without it being mentioned in the API. By default, fog will be created and I believe the sky will be darkened as well. In order to remove those, set all of them to 'true'
Update-Delay
The delay (in ticks) in between the boss bar updates. Default value is 20 (= 1 second)
Permission
The permission required to see the boss bar. If the value is prefixes with a dash (-), the bar will only be visible if the player doesn't have the permission.
Enabled-Worlds
The worlds the bar is enabled in. If this is specified, the Disabed-Worlds is ignored. This can be put in the main config (0-space indentation, above or below all bars) to make it apply for each bar.
Each world name must start on a new line, and start with a dash (-)
Disabled-Worlds
Pretty much the same as Enabled-Worlds, although this specifies the worlds in which the bar is disabled.
Permission
The permission required to see the boss bar. Start it with a dash (-) to negate it (those who don't have the permission can see it)
Display
When to display this boss bar (since version 1.4.0)
Can be: always (default), on-join, on-rejoin, on-first-join, on-world-change, on-respawn, on-block-break, on-block-place
Blocks
Only works when Display is set to on-block-break or on-block-place.
Specifies the list of blocks to display this bar on, e.g. 'stone, dirt:1, skull:3'
When no data value has been specified, all data values are accepted.
