Heart Container
by Jaidev
Heart Container lets players raise their maximum health by crafting Heart Container items from collected Heart Pieces, for a Fabric install on 1.20.1.
What it does
Heart Container adds heart containers that increase health. Each one permanently grants one extra heart, which is two health points, and the increase stops once the configured maximum cap is reached. Two new health-related items are added, and together they expand maximum health step by step as players progress.
Players collect four Heart Pieces and craft them into a Heart Container to upgrade health. The pieces and containers can also appear in structures such as Jungle Temples and Ruined Portals, so exploring those places gives a route to more hearts. The mod requires Jaidev Library, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Builds target 1.20.1 only and are published for Fabric, under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which is not open source.
Key features
Permanent health increase
Each heart container permanently adds one heart, equal to two health points, to the player's maximum health.
Crafted upgrade path
Four Heart Pieces are combined in a crafting recipe to produce a Heart Container for the next health upgrade.
Configurable health cap
Maximum health stops rising once the configured cap is reached, so server owners can set a limit.
Structure loot
Heart Pieces can be found in Jungle Temples and Ruined Portals, which gives explorers a source of upgrades.
