Minecraft /bossbar command

Creates a bar like the Ender Dragon's; you set its name, color and fill.

/bossbar set <id> (name|color|style|value|max|players|visible) <value>
/bossbar remove <id>
/bossbar get <id> (value|max|players|visible)

Parts in square brackets are optional, parts in angle brackets are required. You do not type the brackets: Put your own value in their place.

Arguments

ArgumentWhat it does
<id> A namespaced ID, for example og:timer.

Creates a new bar.

/bossbar set og:timer players @a

Shows the bar to everyone.

/bossbar set og:timer value 30

Sets the fill to 30.

Good to know

  • Often used on countdown, event and minigame maps.
  • If the player list is empty, nobody sees the bar.

How do I run this command?

Press T in game to open chat (or press / directly), type the command and press Enter. While typing, Tab completes the options. This command counts as a cheat: It needs cheats enabled in a singleplayer world, and operator permission on a server (operator (level 2)).
