Heart of Life Additions
by Zubariel
Heart of Life Additions, a Fabric mod by Zubariel, adds heart-themed tools, weapons and armor that players craft by upgrading diamond gear with a custom smithing template.
What it does
The mod adds a set of heart-themed equipment, including a sword and a full tool line. Players obtain each piece by applying the Heart Upgrade Template from the Heart Life item to existing diamond gear in a smithing table, so the new tools grow out of what a player already owns.
The mod requires Heart Life, an addon that supplies the custom smithing template and the heart progression the new equipment builds on. Heart Life is required, not optional, so it must be installed alongside this mod. The official Heart Life addon adds heart-themed tools, weapons and armor that complement the same progression.
Installation needs Fabric Loader and Fabric API. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.4, and the latest file is 1.0.1 for 1.21.4, released 2026-04-07. The code is available as a public source repository, but the project is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source.
