The default Minecraft experience bar is, let’s be honest, pretty bland. Rainbow XP Bar changes that with a simple but effective swap: your green XP bar becomes a bright, colorful rainbow gradient. You also get updated ping indicators that match the theme. It’s a small touch that adds personality to your UI without messing with gameplay.
What’s Changed
XP Bar
Your experience bar goes from flat green to a smooth rainbow gradient. The colors cycle through the spectrum as you level up, making progression more visually satisfying.
Ping Indicators
Connection quality indicators get a color refresh too. Better ping shows brighter colors, while slower connections use muted tones. It’s a quick visual check for your server connection.
