How to Use Custom Dungeons Boss Bars in Multiplayer and Custom Maps

Because AL’s Dungeons Boss Bars Resource Pack works purely in vanilla Minecraft without needing extra mods or server-side plugins, you can use it on any multiplayer server or adventure map that uses standard boss health bars.

Using the Pack on Multiplayer Servers

1. Enable the pack in your client's Resource Packs menu before joining a server.

2. When you join a server that uses vanilla boss bars—whether for actual boss fights like the Ender Dragon and Wither, raid bars, or server announcements—your client will automatically render them with the Minecraft Dungeons designs and font icons.

3. If a multiplayer server prompts you to download a required server resource pack upon joining, that server pack is automatically placed at the top of your load order. If the server pack does not modify boss bars or fonts, AL’s Dungeons Boss Bars will continue working underneath it.

Enhancing Adventure Maps

Many vanilla adventure and dungeon maps use the boss bar mechanic to track custom boss health or event timers.

• Load AL’s Dungeons Boss Bars alongside the map's built-in resource pack.
• Place AL’s Dungeons Boss Bars above the map's resource pack in the Selected column if you want its health bar textures to override the map's default bars, or place it below if you only want it to fill in for bars the map creator left untouched.
