# Classic Bar Unofficial<\/p>\n
A **NeoForge 1.21.1** community port of Tfarcenim’s Classic Bar. Clean, readable progress bars replace Minecraft’s default icon HUD \u2014 hearts, armor, food, air, and more.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## What It Does<\/p>\n
Classic Bar replaces the traditional icon rows on your HUD \u2014 hearts, armor pieces, food drumsticks, air bubbles, and other status symbols \u2014 with **continuous progress bars**. The health bar scales dynamically with your maximum health instead of locking at 20 points, giving you a cleaner, more information-dense HUD at a single glance.<\/p>\n
Originally created by Tfarcenim for Minecraft Forge, this community fork updates the mod to **NeoForge 1.21.1**, adds new mod integrations, and provides ongoing maintenance.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Why Download<\/p>\n
– **Dynamic health scaling** \u2014 the health bar adjusts to your actual max HP, not a fixed 20
\n– **Deep customization** \u2014 every bar can be positioned left, right, or hidden; colors, number display modes, icon toggles, and overlay effects are all configurable through an in-game GUI
\n– **Extended mod support** \u2014 five additional mods now have dedicated bar integrations (see below)
\n– **Better readability** \u2014 continuous bars are easier to parse at a glance than scattered icon rows
\n– **Cleaner look** \u2014 reduces visual clutter while keeping all information accessible<\/p>\n
