Longlive
by koka99cab
With Longlive installed, a new character starts with 3 hearts and gains more as levels are earned, with health tied to experience.
What it does
Instead of starting with the vanilla 10 hearts, a player begins at level 0 with 3 hearts. Each level raised through experience adds to the maximum, and the health total grows quickly in the first levels, which gives early play a clear sense of progression. Once level 10 is reached, the player has the vanilla maximum of 10 hearts, or 20 HP.
Beyond level 10 the health value stays at the vanilla cap, so the mod changes only the early stretch of a survival run and leaves the limit itself untouched. The system is intentionally simple: experience sets the maximum, and nothing else in the game is altered. Fabric API is required as a dependency. Longlive runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. It is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is not open source. Files are published for 1.21.11 only, with version 1.0.0 as the latest, dated 2026-03-29.
Key features
Health tied to experience
Maximum health rises with each experience level, so the number of hearts reflects how far the character has progressed.
Three hearts at level 0
A new character starts with 3 hearts instead of the vanilla starting health.
Fast early growth
Hearts come quickly while the player earns the first experience levels, so early survival changes noticeably.
Vanilla cap kept
Health stops at the vanilla maximum of 10 hearts, 20 HP, reached at level 10, and does not go higher.

How it compares
Heart Visualizer is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.21.8, released under the MIT License and open source, so it changes how hearts are shown rather than how many there are. XP Health is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and built for 1.21.1, so players join without installing anything.
