No Heal Border
by team.afus.yt
No Heal Border is a Fabric server mod that stops health regeneration for players who travel beyond a configurable soft world border.
What it does
Inside the border, healing works as usual. Once a player crosses the boundary, natural regeneration, food-based regeneration, Instant Health potions, absorption hearts and golden apples stop working until the player is back inside. Players can still travel past the border and take damage there, but they cannot heal while outside the area. The border is invisible in-game, and a title notification on screen tells the player when they enter or exit it.
The border is configured through a file that sets its origin, size and dimension, and it applies per dimension, so the Overworld, Nether and End can each have their own area. The aim is to discourage distant base locations without restricting exploration. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, under All rights reserved, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Soft healing border
Health regeneration is disabled outside a configurable area, while movement across the border stays allowed.
Blocked healing sources
Natural regeneration, food effects, Instant Health potions, absorption hearts and golden apples are all prevented outside the border.
Per-dimension borders
Each of the Overworld, Nether and End gets its own border with its own origin and size.
On-screen notifications
A title message appears when a player crosses the border, so the boundary is communicated without a visible wall.
