Measured entry

8bitcn-mana-bar

cardskeuomorphism

A blue mana progress indicator with default and segmented retro treatments. It ships as a shadcn registry component composed around Radix Progress, class-variance-authority, Tailwind utility classes, a local cn helper, and a retro stylesheet that imports the Press Start font from Google Fonts.

Verdict

A focused game-interface meter that builds and mounts in its intended environment, but it ships with an unnamed progressbar that callers must fix. It needs a shadcn-style setup and is a poor drop-in choice for a bare React project.

Use it if

  • You need a game HUD mana meter that can accept a live progress value.
  • Your interface already uses shadcn conventions, Tailwind classes, and Radix primitives.
  • You want both a smooth fill and a segmented pixel-style variant from the same component.

Skip it if

  • You need an accessible component that is correctly named without adding an aria-label or equivalent yourself.
  • Your project cannot load the externally hosted Google font imported by its retro stylesheet.
  • You want a standalone component without path aliases, shared class helpers, or Tailwind theme tokens.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add Radix Progress and class-variance-authority, configure Tailwind and the at-sign path alias, provide a cn class-merging helper, include the retro stylesheet, and ensure the progressbar receives an accessible name. Self-host or replace the imported font if external font loading is unsuitable.
