Heart of Stone
by Exprotionen
Heart of Stone adds heart items that a player holds in the offhand to reduce certain kinds of damage, charged by destroying specific blocks and mobs.
What it does
Three heart items reduce incoming damage while they sit in a player's inventory: Heart Stone lowers damage in general, Heart Chicken lowers fall damage and Heart Fire lowers fire damage. Each heart is charged by destroying a matching block or mob while holding it in the offhand, namely Deepslate for Heart Stone, chickens for Heart Chicken and Magma Cubes for Heart Fire. Charge reached this way is kept on the heart, and a certain charge level opens an upgrade that raises the heart's effect and its potential charge in the next version.
The mod also adds a Deepslate Resourcium Ore that generates between heights -64 and -61, just above bedrock, and only in mountain biomes with snow and in deep dark biomes. Several totems of the same heart do not stack; only the strongest one counts. Totems of different hearts only work when held in one hand, so a player cannot run two different hearts at the same time. Heart of Stone is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it installed. The code is under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source. It is published for NeoForge only, in the 1.21.1 game version, with 0.4.1-Beta as the latest file, released on 2026-08-26.

What the author says
A Mod meant as a small Project. It adds heart items that can have effects like reducing certain damage. But be aware that nothing is for free. All Hearts have a charge, which is being used when the item does its job. When a certain charge is reached it upgrades to the next version, increasing its effect and potential…
