My Action Bar (Mod)
A mod that adds a fully configurable HUD bar above the hotbar with information about your world and more.
The HUD bar can display information such as the time, weather, world direction, coordinates, and much more!
It is an expanded version of the My Action Bar datapack.

- With a prefix ("Day")

Settings Menu
The configuration menu allows you to customize the appearance and content of the bar according to your preferences.
You can open it using the B key (by default). You can change the assigned key at any time in Minecraft's controls settings.

To load a preset, copy the received code and click [Load Preset] in the mod settings. A window will open where you need to paste the code — if it is already in the clipboard, the game will automatically detect and paste it.
After confirming, the bar settings will be automatically adjusted to the saved configuration.
