Adding a bossbar command to Minecraft Bedrock would be cool.

Hey all! This has definitely been requested almost over the last 3 years. Don't complain or I will!

WE.. NEED.. BOSSBARS.

In the Java edition of minecraft since 2018 (1.13) there has been a command to create custom bossbars. These were VERY USEFUL in development since you could easily create Healthbars for boss battles, A progress bar, and much more. In the Bedrock edition this has been missing ever since release of Windows 10. I will explain more in detail.

Why do we need it?

We need it for a really good reason. People trying to be creative making boss battles or working FNAF maps or even just a simple loading bar have difficulties while working with bedrock. The only current way to get bossbars is spawning in a BOSS (wither, or ender dragon) renaming it and spawning it in a bedrock cage. This is not good! The wither or ender dragon will create so much noise and a ton of death sounds (since to rename it you have to kill it and spawn it in with a different name). It would be 10x better if this was an included feature.

Would it bring people to bedrock?

Well.. It depends. There are some people who are smart in the Minecraft map making community that enjoy bedrock but it doesn't have features like Java to easily create stuff. I would say.. Possibly. Maybe a slight increase.

Would it really be used?

Yes, and no. Depends on what their working on. It can be used in a ton of situations when your making a fun map for players to play.

The idea with the boss bar is actially pretty easy to do by addons itself. Its one component that you could trigger with for example making a event for example called: "activate_boss" which adds a components group within "minecraft:boss"

you will also need to add another event called for example "disable_boss" which removes the component_group which contains your "minecraft:boss" component. and there you have it

all you got to do now is simply activating experimental gameplay in your world and type in "/event entity @e[type="minecraft:Zombie",r=1] activate_boss"

and to remove it just type /event entity @e[type="minecraft:Zombie",r=1] disable_boss

If mojang doesn't do it, get into addons and do it yourself. That's why I started with addons from begin with.
