HeartMod - Heart Crystals

❤️ Heart Mod – Expanded Health & Healing System for Minecraft

Overview

This mod rebalances gameplay by encouraging exploration through collectible Heart Crystals that increase health while adding a base-focused healing system with auto-regeneration turned off, requiring players to be more careful and avoid mistakes.

Key Features

Dynamic Health Progression

Start with 5 hearts (10 HP). Collect the new item, Heart Crystal.  
Each Heart Crystal increases your max health by 1 heart (2 HP).  
You can find them only in naturally generated chests.  

New Structures

Heart Crystals can be found in loot and in newly generated structures - Crystal Shrines.

At a Shrine Altar, you can exchange a Heart Crystal for a permanent effect that lasts until you die or drink milk.

Bed Healing

Now beds don’t skip the night, but they heal you. While you rest in bed, your HP will gradually increase.

Penalty System

Your inventory stays after death (keepInventory is true), but you will lose Crystal Hearts.
The number of lost Crystal Hearts increases with the size of your health bar.

Challenge

Auto-regeneration is turned off by default.
You need to avoid dangerous situations and/or find ways to manage your healing.

Achievements

Integrated with Minecraft’s advancements system.  
Track your healing progress and earn rewards for both Bandages and Heart Crystals.
