Cardiac
by SSKirillSS
Cardiac lets players collect health orbs that defeated mobs drop, and picking one up restores health.
What it does
When a mob dies, it can drop health orbs that a player picks up to regain health. The mechanic adds a small strategic element to survival combat, since orbs have to be gathered after a fight. Architectury API and ShatterLib | OctoLib are required dependencies, and Cardiac is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Builds cover 1.18.2 – 1.21.1, and the license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features

Simple survival element
Gathering orbs after a fight adds a light resource decision to combat without changing core survival rules.
Configurable behavior
The mod can be adjusted through its configuration options, so server owners can tune how orbs behave.
