Body Health System FORKED
by 32bitx64bit
With Body Health System FORKED, the health bar of the player is replaced by a system of wounds, bones and temperature that changes how damage behaves.
What it does
Body Health System FORKED is a hard fork of the original health mod by srgnis, which is credited for the foundations this fork builds on. The fork revamps the Minecraft health system, reworks arrow raycasting so arrows hit more accurately, and refactors much of the backend. It also fixes bugs that left the original in a broken state and aims to improve performance and stability. Wounding, temperature and bone systems make the experience more challenging, and each part can be turned off or adjusted in the configuration, including disabling wounding entirely.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, with files covering 1.20 – 1.20.6 across seven game versions, and version 0.7.2 for 1.20.1 is the latest file. It is released under the MIT License and is open source. Installation needs no other mod, and the mod adds a number of health-related items that the health systems use.

Wounding and bones

What the author says
BHSF is probably one, if not the most advanced body health systems that minecraft can offer. Mostly out of frustration with the lack of realistic body health systems. None of them really go indepth with their mechanics, and lack of customizability to fit every users needs.
