KeepItHealthy
KeepItHealthy turns the player's body into a survival system, tracking injuries, infection, fatigue and illness alongside hunger.
What it does
Wounds left untreated can become infected, which slows health regeneration and limits movement. Falls from great heights carry a high-impact damage risk that can break bones. A broken leg makes walking slow and painful, and a player has to rest and use a leg cast before moving normally again.
Pushing without rest leads to fatigue, which reduces speed and worsens decision-making. Long stretches of isolation in the dark expose a player to a loss of sanity, with visual and auditory hallucinations. Staying warm matters too, since wet, cold surroundings raise the chance of catching a cold. Raw or spoiled food can cause salmonella, bringing nausea and weakness.
Keep Healthy is a Forge and NeoForge mod that runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for 1.19.2 – 1.21.1 and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Injury and infection
Injuries from combat and accidents persist, and untreated wounds can turn into infections that reduce health regeneration.
Broken bones and leg casts
Heavy falls may break bones, slowing movement until a leg cast is applied and the limb heals.
Fatigue
Working without rest produces fatigue that lowers speed and affects decision-making until the player recovers.
Sanity and isolation
Prolonged isolation and exposure threaten sanity, bringing visual and auditory hallucinations.
Illness from food and weather
Raw or spoiled food can cause salmonella, and wet, cold environments increase the risk of catching a cold.
