# Damage to Health

This mod makes it so that whenever you deal damage to a mob, your maximum health increases by the same amount of damage dealt. (Does not affect players.)

For example, if you deal 6 damage to a zombie, your maximum health increases by 6 HP.

Your progress is saved with your player data, so your increased maximum health persists after leaving and rejoining your world.

## Features

- ❤️ Gain maximum health by dealing damage to mobs.
- 🧟 Damage dealt to players does not increase maximum health.
- 💾 Your progress persists after leaving and rejoining a world.
- 🔧 Supports Fabric and NeoForge versions listed on the project's download page.
- ⚙️ Optional support for AttributeFix to allow maximum health beyond Minecraft's normal attribute limit.

## Installing Damage to Health

Before installing the mod, make sure you are using the correct Minecraft version and mod loader for the version of Damage to Health you downloaded.

You can download Damage to Health from CurseForge or Modrinth.

### Dependencies

Depending on the Minecraft version and mod loader you are using, you may need additional dependencies such as Fabric API.

Required dependencies are listed on the corresponding download page.

## Windows

1. Download the Damage to Health `.jar` file.
2. Install the correct Minecraft mod loader for the version you are using.
3. Press `Windows + R`.
4. Enter `%appdata%`.
5. Press Enter.
6. Open the `.minecraft` folder.
7. Open the `mods` folder.
   - If it does not exist, create a folder named `mods`.
8. Place the downloaded Damage to Health `.jar` file inside the `mods` folder.
9. Install any required dependencies.
10. Launch Minecraft using the correct mod-loader profile.

Damage to Health should now be installed.

## macOS

1. Download the Damage to Health `.jar` file.
2. Install the correct Minecraft mod loader.
3. Open Finder.
4. Select **Go → Go to Folder...**
5. Enter:

`~/Library/Application Support/minecraft`

6. Open the `mods` folder.
   - If it does not exist, create one named `mods`.
7. Place the Damage to Health `.jar` file inside the folder.
8. Install any required dependencies.
9. Launch Minecraft using the correct mod-loader profile.

## Linux

Damage to Health should work on Linux distributions that support Minecraft Java Edition and the required mod loader.

These instructions are specifically for Debian-based distributions, such as:

- Ubuntu
- Zorin OS
- Pop!_OS
- MX Linux
- Other Debian-based distributions

1. Download the Damage to Health `.jar` file.
2. Install the correct Minecraft mod loader.
3. Open your Minecraft directory.

For most standard Minecraft installations, this is:

`~/.minecraft`

4. Open the `mods` folder.
   - If it does not exist, create a folder named `mods`.
5. Place the Damage to Health `.jar` file inside the `mods` folder.
6. Install any required dependencies.
7. Launch Minecraft using the correct mod-loader profile.

## NeoForge

Damage to Health can be used with NeoForge versions that are listed as supported on the project's download page.

Install NeoForge for the appropriate Minecraft version, then place the Damage to Health `.jar` and any required dependencies into your `mods` folder.

### Using Fabric mods with NeoForge

Some Fabric mods can be used with NeoForge through Sinytra Connector and its required components.

However, Sinytra Connector does not provide universal compatibility with every Minecraft version or every Fabric mod. Compatibility depends on the specific Minecraft version and mod.

If a Damage to Health release specifically lists NeoForge support, using the NeoForge version directly is recommended rather than relying on a compatibility layer.

## Forge / FML

Damage to Health does not automatically have native Forge support just because it has a Fabric version.

If you are using a Forge version that is compatible with a Fabric compatibility solution such as Sinytra Connector, you may be able to use the Fabric version through that compatibility layer.

However, compatibility is version-dependent.

Do not install Sinytra Connector expecting it to work with every Forge version.

If native Forge support is added in the future, the installation instructions will be updated accordingly.

## AttributeFix

Without AttributeFix, Minecraft's normal maximum-health attribute limit applies.

Installing AttributeFix allows Damage to Health to continue increasing your maximum health beyond that limit.

If you want to reach the higher health values supported by Damage to Health, AttributeFix is recommended.

## Important Notes

- Make sure Damage to Health matches your Minecraft version.
- Make sure you download the version for your mod loader.
- Install all required dependencies.
- Fabric, NeoForge, and compatibility-layer installations are not interchangeable.
- Damage to Health's saved damage progress is stored with your player data.
- Damage dealt to other players does not increase your maximum health.

For example, if you deal 6 damage to a zombie, your maximum health increases by 6 HP.

Damage dealt to other players does not increase your maximum health.

Your progress is saved with your player data, so your increased maximum health persists after leaving and rejoining your world.

• 🧟 Damage dealt to players does not increase your maximum health.
• 💾 Damage progress is saved with your player data.
• 🔧 Supports Fabric and NeoForge versions listed on the project.

Using Fabric Mods with NeoForge

Some Fabric mods can be used with NeoForge through Sinytra Connector and its required components.
