Life Crystals
by q4niel
Life Crystals changes early-game progression by starting players with only three hearts and adding crystals that raise maximum health.
What it does
The mod reworks the first stage of survival. Flint tools stand in for the usual wooden kit, and a copper kit comes in where stone would normally appear, so the opening follows a different sequence than vanilla. Maximum health defaults to 6 HP, which is three hearts, which makes the opening stretch more demanding until a player finds more health.
Life Crystals works on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, and the latest build, 0.5.0-1.21-Fabric, targets Minecraft 1.21 and is marked beta. Fabric API is required and must be installed alongside it. The mod is released under a custom license and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are publicly available.
