LevelHearts

The Best Alternative to More Health Enchanted

 
LevelHearts reworks Minecraft’s health progression by giving you new ways to earn more hearts as you play. Inspired by More Health Enchanted, it lets you increase your maximum health through experience, heart pieces, and heart containers found throughout the world. With flexible configuration options, you can fine-tune the system to match your playstyle.

Common Issues

Q: Is this compatible with [insert HUD-modifying mod here]?
A: Yes. In the configuration, disable the "LevelHearts HUD" option to revert to vanilla behavior. It is up to the HUD mods to be able to handle a large/modified amount of health.

Q: Will you please make a Fabric version?
A: No, I am not planning on making a Fabric version of this mod.

Q: How do I edit the starting health?
A: Please see the configuration options below. There are various health settings in regards to "starting" health. You're likely looking for the "Default Health" option.

Q: How do I edit the rarity of loot?
A: Unfortunately, I've never done this myself so I cannot be too much help. However, the loot tables are provided in the JAR and should be modifiable just like any other Minecraft loot table by using resource packs or data packs. The mod dynamically loads the JSON files upon world load, so it is not hard coded.

Q: Will you please make a version before 1.12 or for 1.13?
A: No.
