Still Alive !
by ysob64
Still Alive ! reworks health and survival balance for Fabric, making early game survival noticeably harsher for players.
What it does
The mod changes the health system so the early game is harder to survive, with enemy AI made more aggressive than in vanilla. Its feature list also covers a heat mechanic, an energy mechanic and mountaineering-related content. Items such as seeds stack to 64 instead of the usual smaller limit.
The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Required dependencies are DuskyWisp's Library, Endurance and Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with beta.2 for 1.21.11 as the latest build, released 2025-12-16 on the beta channel. The author states that the mod is being remade for 1.21.10 and that the current version is about 80% done.
The code is public through a source repository and an issue tracker, but the license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

What the author says
I'm currently remaking the whole entire mod in 1.21.10, because for some reason eclipse decided to break the whole mod, and dependencies are also broken (datagen too). NEW PLANNED UPDATES (road to v1): - Remake the mod WITHOUT external dependecies (fabric API excluded) - mountaineering related stuff - energy mechanic…
