Astra's Recovery Heart Drops

by AshenAstra

When a hostile mob dies, it can drop a Recovery Heart that restores two hearts when picked up, and Astra's Recovery Heart Drops provides this as a datapack.

What it does

Hostile mobs have a chance to drop a Recovery Heart when killed by a player. The base chance is 20 percent and rises by 5 percent with each level of Looting. A picked-up heart restores two hearts of health at once, which suits a player swarmed by several enemies who needs a quick heal.

The mod is a datapack, so it needs no loader-specific code. Because it changes mob loot tables, it can conflict with other datapacks that alter mob drops, and compatibility with other datapacks is not promised.

Installation depends on the server, since the environment is server required and client optional. Files for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt are all dated 2026-07-20 for 26.2, and the mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Support for older versions is not promised unless an issue is serious.

Use cases

Swarm survival

A player fighting several hostile mobs at once can recover health faster from drops than by waiting for natural regeneration.

Who it’s for: Server owners and players who want a simple healing source from hostile mob kills, installed as a datapack on a server that matches the game version.

Questions

Which datapack version should a server install?

Install the build that matches the game: the 26.1.2 build for 26.1.2 and the 26.2 build for 26.2.

Does the mod conflict with other datapacks?

It may. The mod alters mob loot tables, and compatibility with other datapacks made by others is not ensured, so testing is advised.

Do players need the mod installed?

No. Server owners install it, and players can join with or without it.

What the author says

This simple datapack makes it so hostile mobs killed by the player have a chance (20%, increasing by 5% for each level of looting, to be precise.) to drop a Recovery Heart, which, when picked up, instantly heals two of your hearts. This is useful for if you're getting swarmed by enemies and need a quick heal or two…
