Progressive Hearts
Progressive Hearts adds three permanent progression apples that grant extra hearts for good, each tied to a later stage of the game.
What it does
Each of the three apples is crafted at a later stage: the first after farming, the second once the Nether is reached, and the third after the End. Every apple grants a lasting health buffer that stays with the player. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Builds are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Three progression apples

Stage-based crafting
The apples require farming, the Nether and the End in turn, so each one becomes available after a major stage.
Compatible with other mods
