RPG Health Overhaul
by SmileLulz
RPG Health Overhaul changes how health is gained, restored and lost, with Life Crystals and healing tied to sleep and campfires.
What it does
Healing in RPG Health Overhaul is tied to rest. After a player sleeps, health regenerates a little, and on waking there is a 30% chance of gaining bonus health as Absorption. Campfires add their own regeneration, so resting and camping both restore health.
Life Crystals are the main way to raise maximum health. Each crystal permanently increases the maximum, up to 40 hearts, which is 20 more than the vanilla default. Crystals generate in underground floors between y16 and y-56. A Life Crystal also appears in the creative inventory under the Food & Drinks tab.
Almost every feature can be changed in the config file at RPGHealthOverhaul/config.toml. The mod requires Fabric API. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 13 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.3, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.

How it compares
Healing Pretty Good covers a similar healing topic for 1.19.2 – 1.21.1 with a custom license and is not open source. Heart Crystals is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, for 1.20.1 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Dynamic RPG Resource Bars is client-side only, so players install it alone, and it uses a custom license.
