Overflowing Bars

Overflowing Bars expands Minecraft's health, armor, and armor toughness bars beyond vanilla while keeping them compact and easy to read. Instead of adding extra rows of icons, the mod stacks bars into clear layers that take up far less space. 📊

When your stats exceed vanilla limits, a row counter shows exactly how many layers of health, armor, or toughness you have. No memorizing color schemes or guessing which layer you're viewing. 🔢

The mod also adds a dedicated armor toughness bar, bringing an important defensive stat into the HUD that vanilla doesn't display. 🛡️

For proper support of armor and toughness values beyond vanilla limits, install AttributeFix by DarkhaxDev. 🌟
