Shared Health
by neddslayer
Shared Health lets players on a Fabric server pool their health and hunger into one collective value.
What it does
Health and hunger are shared across the players on a server, so a change to one player's value applies to the group. Health sharing is controlled by the shareHealth gamerule and hunger sharing by the shareHunger gamerule, and both are enabled by default. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything, and the code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source. Files cover 1.16.5 – 26.2 across 16 release versions, with 1.2.12 for 26.2 as the latest.
Key features
Shared health value
All players on the server share one collective health value instead of tracking their own.
Shared hunger value
Hunger is pooled the same way, so food levels move together for the whole group.
Gamerule switches
The shareHealth and shareHunger gamerules turn each sharing mechanic on or off, and both default to enabled.
