Crystal Hearts
by costa_021
Heart Crystals is a Fabric mod that adds a rare consumable which permanently raises maximum health, for players who want a long-term goal in survival.
What it does
Each heart crystal adds two extra health points, one full heart, to the player's maximum health. Using one also restores health to full at once, so the item doubles as an emergency heal. The bonus stays on the character, and the increase accumulates over repeated uses rather than resetting after a death or a trip to another dimension.
Progress is tracked per player and carries over across deaths, dimension changes and world reloads. The mod suits survival and adventure play where extra hearts are a reason to keep exploring. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric only, for game version 1.20.1, and the latest file is 1.0.0, dated 2025-11-18. The code is covered by All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Permanent maximum health
Each crystal raises the maximum health cap by two points, so the gain is kept for the rest of the character's life.
Instant full heal
Using a crystal restores all health immediately, which can be used in a fight as well as to recover after a long trip.
Progress across deaths
The accumulated bonus remains after death, so a player does not lose the health gained from earlier crystals.
Long-term progression
Crystals are rare, so collecting them becomes a steady goal through an adventure run and a long-term reason to explore.
