Changing The Hud

I suggest changing the HUD for the Wynncraft Pack, more specifically, changing the heart/mana icons into health/mana bars, along with making the other unneeded icons transparent. It wouldn't involve a lot of work, as I've already made the icons. Here's a list of the changes I would like:

1. Making Health, Mana, and Air Bars
The heart icons in-game don't properly scale with the numbers above your toolbar. It seems pretty redundant. Although this cannot be said for the mana and air icons, I propose that instead of icons, we use bars as a visual representation to accommodate the numbers for health, as in most RPGs.

​

As seen in this picture, the heart and hunger icons that we have been used to have been replaced with health and mana bars.

​

In a similar format, the air meter has also been replaced with a bar. However, the air meter works differently from the aforementioned health and mana bars. Once one bar of air has been depleted, it disappears, as opposed to the health and mana bars, which have an empty bar when it is depleted.

2. Making the Armor and Horse Health Icons Transparent
In Wynncraft, the armor and horse health icons don't seem to have any purpose. There's no point in measuring the amount of armor you have, and the health of the horse does not carry over when your re-spawn your horse.

​

As you can see, despite having armor on, there are no icons for the armor. This can be done by making the armor icons in the icons.png file transparent.

​

Just as before, the horse health icons have become transparent. This can be done just as before.

3. Add Minor Details to Accommodate the Changes Above
To make it fit with the style, the experience, horse jump, and boss health bars should be changed. Each bar should correlate with a bar of health/mana/air. The experience bar can be seen in the first three pictures, and the horse jump bar can be seen in the last. As a side note for the horse jump bar, the color of orange changes into yellow in the last five bars, which parallels with four bars in vanilla Minecraft.

I also feel that I should go over how this works, because there is a small change that had to be done to accomplish this.

​

This is the icons.png file. Now, you may not have noticed, but this picture is actually 32x32. There's a reason why:
In the vanilla 16x16 resource pack, the icons for health are separate from each other. However, in a 32x32 resource pack, the icons slightly overlap each other, by one pixel.

​

On the left is a 32x32 bar of health, and on the right is a 16x16. Because of its size, the 16x16 does not have 3 pixels shaped like an L on each corner.

​

And because it's 16x16, the bars of health do not overlap.

​

In the 32x32 bar, the farmost 2 pixels overlap each other. At the ends of the bar, there is nothing overlapping the pixels.

I hope you enjoyed the suggestion as much as I enjoyed making it. Hopefully it gets implemented, but I can only dream.

 

Good idea, but the icons you show as an example seem very modern for the Wynn feel. I enjoy the thought, though!

 

looks quite great, got my support

 

1. A bit modern
2. I'm not sure why you're showing how to do this when this was already done with the Wynnpack
Nice idea anyways, but I kinda prefer the heart & orb.

 

NPCs in the game already have that type of health bar...

 

I'm a really big noob... Ik. Wtf is an air bar? xD

Edit: I support this idea! Makes a lot more sense than having unneeded bars

 

I SUPPORT THE IDEA OF ADDING ACTUAL HEALTH BARS

 

But I like the current pack more...

 

1. I believe this was mentioned beofre, but indeed, the shading for the bars do seem quite off from the base Wynnpack, but
2. because I explained how to do this, the Wynncraft staff would be able to modify it accordingly.

This suggestion would apply to what us players see and use, not what NPCs have.

Haha, you probably already know what an air bar is. I don't think there's a proper terminology to it, but what I'm referring to is the meter for oxygen that shows up when you're underwater (it's shown through icons of bubbles).

Yup, this seems to be the dominant problem, that being of people not liking these and preferring the regular icons, with no way to switch over. This problem seems to root from the Wynncraft pack, since it's required for the server (there's no way to use a different resource pack). I think the only solution would be able to customize the Wynncraft pack according to the player's preference.

Thanks for all the support guys, I really do appreciate it.
