Eddy's Heart Containers
by EddyF
Eddy's Heart Containers adds Heart Pieces and Heart Containers, two item types borrowed from the Legend of Zelda series, that raise a player's maximum health when collected.
What it does
Heart Pieces are gathered in the world and four of them craft one Heart Container. Some pieces are found in desert pyramids, ancient cities, jungle temples and end cities, and others are granted once for finishing certain advancements.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it, and it requires Fabric API. Builds exist only for Fabric, for the game versions 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, with 0.5+26.1 as the latest file. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source. The author notes that the way Heart Containers are implemented differs from vanilla Minecraft, and that some design choices depend on play style.
