Novaryn Queue Bar

💜 Novaryn Queue Bar

Novaryn Queue Bar is a lightweight StrikePractice addon that displays live queue and fight information directly in each player's action bar.

While players wait in a ranked or unranked queue, the bar shows their selected kit, queue type, elapsed wait time, and queued-player count. When a fight begins, it can switch automatically to a configurable duel, party-versus-party, or party-split display with live scores, team counts, and native player-head icons.

Novaryn Queue Bar is designed for practice servers that want a cleaner, more informative experience without extra menus, chat messages, or resource packs. Every bar is configurable, including per-kit queue formats, fight formats, colors, labels, fallback icons, and LingoJam Minecraft Small Font styling.

• 💜 Clean action bar design Present queue and fight information using a polished purple-themed default layout.

• ⏱️ Live queue status Show the selected kit, ranked or unranked mode, elapsed wait time, and live queue count.

• ⚔️ Live fight bars Display configurable action bars for duels, party-versus-party fights, and party splits.

• 👤 Native player-head icons Render each fighter's real Minecraft skin head in supported clients without requiring a resource pack.

• 🟣 Automatic head fallbacks Use configurable alive and eliminated symbols when native head rendering is unavailable.

• 🧮 Scores and team status Show duel scores, current rounds, team totals, and the number of players still alive.

• 🔠 LingoJam Minecraft Small Font Convert supported text using the Minecraft Small Font mapping while preserving colors, placeholders, numbers, and symbols.

• ⚙️ Fully configurable formats Customize queue, duel, party-versus-party, and party-split action bars with built-in placeholders.

• 🎯 Per-kit queue formats Use a different queue bar format for any kit while retaining a global default.

• 👁️ Per-player toggle Let players enable or disable all Novaryn action bars for themselves.

• 💾 Persistent preferences Save player toggle states in toggled.yml, including across restarts.

• 🔌 PlaceholderAPI expansion Includes eight built-in placeholders for scoreboards, tab lists, holograms, and other plugins.

• 📢 Action bar priority Keep the relevant queue or fight status visible while Novaryn Queue Bar is active.
