Overview

SimpleHotbar replaces the hotbar icons with cleaner, simplistic circles. Textures on the hotbar have also been turned flat. Hearts (both player and rideable animals), hunger, their status effects, armor, air, the XP bar, jump bar, and locator bar have all been redesigned, while keeping vanilla's colors. Hearts all have hardcore and blinking variants and all icons have transparent backgrounds.
