Injuries Retained

by Joseph_Kopecky

Injuries Retained, a Forge mod for 1.19.2, lowers a player's maximum health each time damage is taken and changes how healing and respawns work.

What it does

Each time a player takes damage, the amount lost is subtracted from the maximum health value, so healing cannot restore hearts that were lost to injury. Natural regeneration is effectively removed, and even golden apples and potions do not return the lost maximum. The system is inspired by the health model of the Secret Life series.

To offset the extra difficulty, a player who spawns or respawns starts with three rows of hearts. Crafted runes restore one heart each, while the costlier greater variety restores a heart and adds a bonus heart to the maximum, which lets a player permanently raise maximum health on respawn.

Installation needs only Forge for 1.19.2, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and the files are in beta on the Forge channel, 1.0 for 1.19.2.

Key features

  1. Maximum health loss

    Damage taken reduces the maximum health by the same amount, so injuries persist until restored by other means.

  2. Health regeneration removed

    Natural regeneration and healing from golden apples and potions do not restore lost maximum health.

  3. Rune healing

    Crafted runes regenerate a single heart, and greater runes cost more and add a bonus heart to maximum health.

  4. Respawn health

    Players start with three rows of hearts on spawn or respawn to offset the difficulty of the system.

What the author says

Injuries Retained is a mod inspired by the Secret Life health system. Whenever you take damage, your max health value is reduced by the magnitude of the damage. This effectively removes any hope for health regeneration, even from sources like golden apples or potions!
