Heart Mod

Heart Mod changes how health grows in survival. A player begins with five hearts, and the maximum rises as the world is explored, with the progression tuned by a dynamic health system. New structures hold healing items, and sleeping in a bed restores health, so the mod gives players several ways to recover that work differently from vanilla regeneration.

A penalty system applies when a player takes damage in certain situations, and the shrine altar lets players exchange items for a Heart Crystal, which grants a permanent effect that lasts until the player dies or drinks milk. Every value, including the healing amounts and timings, can be changed in the Mod Menu, so server owners can tune the balance for their world.

The mod is published for Fabric only, with builds for 1.18.1 – 26.3 across 15 release versions. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. The latest file, 3.2-26.3, is dated 2026-09-17.
