One Heart!
by Titan1um
One Heart! is a game mechanics mod that reduces the player to a single heart, with the rest of the health bar removed by a datapack setup.
What it does
Setting one heart removes the other nine hearts from the health bar, so a player starts with a single heart of health. The change is applied through a datapack, which is bundled with the mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and also offered for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur and as a plain data pack. Files are published for game versions 1.18.2 – 26.1.1, with v1.1+mod for 26.1.1 as the latest release.
Key features
Single-heart health
The health bar is cut to one heart, leaving the player fragile from the start of a world.
Datapack delivery
The effect is provided as a datapack that can be dropped into a world folder without a separate mod install.
Server-side operation
The server must run the mod, while clients may leave it out and still join the world.
