# Bossbar
\n**Enhancing Minecraft’s bossbar functionality by properly extending it to entities. No more complicated command block setup, lag-inducing detection logic, and cheap attempts at recreating the real deal. This is the real deal now.**<\/p>\n
# \u2705 Features
\n– **Entity bossbars** take the name, health and max health of its entity.
\n– **Range** can be specified for entity bossbars, meaning it’s only visible to local players.
\n– **Default bossbars** can be configured (see Configuration)
\n– **Thicken fog & darken skies** with the extended functionality given to entity bossbars.
\n– **Server-side**, meaning clients don’t need to download it to connect.
\n– **Easy to use** with the “`\/bossbar“` command, swap out a bossbar id with a target selector, and done!
\n– **Optimized** to a lagless extend, compared to Minecraft’s bulky command code.<\/p>\n
