Heart Potion
by NonKungCh
Heart Potion adds a brewable potion that grants a permanent extra heart, made from Stopped Hearts dropped by defeated mobs and animals.
What it does
Stopped Hearts drop from defeated mobs and animals, with a 70% chance from most hostile mobs and 50% from others. Endermen never drop one. A Healing Potion combined with a Stopped Heart on a Brewing Stand brews a Heart Potion, and drinking it adds two maximum health points that stay after death.
Extra hearts are stackable, so each potion adds another heart, and the bonus is re-applied automatically when a player rejoins the world or respawns, so progress is never lost. Dimension travel does not remove it. Brewable splash and lingering versions work with regular potions. The mod targets Fabric and is published for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 as the latest file for 1.21.11.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The license is Apache License 2.0, and the code is not open source.
