Break Block Break Bones

by Endode

Break Block Break Bones is a Fabric and Quilt minigame in which every broken block costs the player one permanent heart.

What it does

Each block a player breaks removes one point of health permanently, and the health loss stays after relogging or respawning. When health reaches zero the player dies, and dying restores health to its starting value, so a run ends and begins again from full health. The mod is built around this single rule, and its author describes it as a small experiment built on Fabric API.

Because the rule is the only feature, the mod works as a challenge setup rather than a set of added items or blocks. Players can use it on their own or on a server to play challenge runs, such as seeing how far a run lasts before dying. A known quirk is that the health display sometimes fails to update after a change; taking damage refreshes the display, so the visual issue corrects itself on the next hit.

The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt for 1.18.2 only, and the code is released under the MIT License without being open source. Fabric API is required on both loaders.

Key features

  1. Health loss per block

    Every block broken by a player takes one point of health, and the loss is permanent until the player dies.

  2. Death resets health

    When health hits zero the player dies, and health is restored to full on respawn, which starts a new run.

  3. Health display fix

    The health bar can briefly show the wrong value; taking damage makes it match the true health again.

Questions

Does Break Block Break Bones need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is listed as a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside the mod on Fabric or Quilt.

Does the mod have to be installed on clients?

No. It runs on the server alone, so players need nothing extra to join.

Why does the health bar sometimes look wrong?

The author notes that the display can lag behind the real health. Taking damage refreshes the bar, so the mismatch is corrected on the next hit.

What the author says

This is a little mod I created for AustonBluBoy, if you break a block you lose 1 HP permanently (until you die). The only feature of this mod, is if a player breaks a block, then they will lose 1 HP forever. If they break 20 blocks then they will die from it; dying resets their health. Because I'm not really familiar…
