Realistic Human Pain and Suffering
by Sygikal
Realistic Human Pain and Suffering replaces the single health bar with a body where each part takes damage separately, for players who want injuries to matter.
What it does
Each part of the body tracks its own health, so a hit lands on the arm, leg, head or torso that was actually struck. Melee damage and projectile damage both follow the body part that was hit. Taking too much damage to the torso or head is fatal and can kill the player instantly, rather than draining a shared pool over time.
Recovery works through items. Medicinal herb crafted flowers and morphine bandages are used to treat injuries, a bandage restores a small amount of health, and a medkit restores a larger amount. Morphine adds a level of sedation that lowers the effect of damage, and too much sedation causes overdose debuffs that block further use for five minutes. Drinking milk removes some of these effects.
The mod is modeled after First Aid and the Body Health System, and is meant as a spiritual successor to those designs. It avoids some of their problems, such as infinite death loops, and it locks instant health effects so they do not bypass the body system. It requires AttachmentsAPI and Fzzy Config, and it runs on Fabric for 1.20.1 only. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player must install it.
Key features
Per-part body health
Head, torso, arms and legs each keep their own health, and damage is applied to the part that was hit.

Medical items
Medicinal herb crafted flowers, morphine bandages, bandages and medkits treat injuries with different strengths.
Sedation and overdose
Morphine raises sedation, sedation lowers damage debuffs, and overdose blocks medical items for five minutes.
