XP Health
by mvciek
XP Health ties maximum health to experience levels, so players gain extra hearts as they level up on a Fabric server.
What it does
XP Health rewards players who gain experience with additional health. Five configurable experience levels each grant extra hearts: reaching level 5 adds one heart, level 10 adds two hearts and level 30 adds six hearts. The bonus is applied by the server, and clients see the extra hearts once they join a server that runs the mod.
Health scales in both directions. A player who loses levels, for example by enchanting or dying, sees the maximum health drop accordingly. The mod is server-side only, so the server alone needs it installed, and players join without changing anything. XP Health is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric on 1.21.1, which makes Fabric API a required dependency.
Files were first published on 2026-02-06 and last updated on 2026-02-08, with the latest Fabric build at 1.0.0 for 1.21.1. The source code and an issue tracker are publicly available.
Key features
Level-based heart bonus
Reaching configured experience levels grants extra maximum health, with the milestones set at levels 5, 10 and 30.
Dynamic health scaling
Maximum health falls again when a player loses levels through enchanting or death, so the bonus tracks the current level.
Configurable thresholds
Each of the five experience levels and the heart amount it grants can be adjusted in the mod's settings.
Server-side operation
Only the server needs the mod, so players gain the extra hearts without installing anything on their own game.

Use cases
Progression on a survival server
Server owners can make experience a visible part of survival progress, with players growing sturdier as they level up.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want experience to affect health, and players on those servers who want to see the extra hearts from their levels.
How it compares
Longlive is a client and server mod for Fabric 1.21.11, released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and not open source. Heart Harvest is a server-side only Fabric mod for 1.21.9 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License and not open source. XP Health is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and built for 1.21.1, so it differs from both in version range and environment.
