Craftable Hearts
by Corwin17
Craftable Hearts lets players craft extra permanent hearts at a new station, the Heart Forge, instead of relying only on the usual sources.
What it does
Heart Forge is a crafting station added by the mod. It is made from a crafting table, three netherite ingots and four gold ingots. Players place ingredients in it, and the forge renders them and outputs hearts above the station. Each heart is made from a set of ingredients such as a diamond, a glistering melon slice, a nether star or an enchanted golden apple.
Hearts made this way are consumed by right-clicking with the hand, and the extra health they grant persists after death, so a player does not lose it. The mod has a configurable limit on how many hearts can be crafted and used. Its items sit in the creative inventory: the Heart Forge is in the Functional tab and the Heart item is in the Food & Drinks tab.
The mod is a Fabric mod and requires Fabric API. It runs on the client and the server, so both need it. Files exist for 1.21.8 only, and the latest is 1.0.0, published on 2025-07-23. The source code is open source under the MIT License.
