About this Mod

If you think you’ve mastered Minecraft, this mod will truly test your skills. Are you ready to survive on just half a heart?
The Half Heart Mod is a thrilling Minecraft challenge that pushes your survival skills to the absolute limit. Unlike regular gameplay where you start with a full health bar, this mod begins you at just half a heart – and it stays that way throughout your entire journey. That means every fall, every mob encounter, and every mistake could instantly end your run.
With only half a heart, you need to play smarter, not harder. Building safe shelters, carefully timing your jumps, and avoiding unnecessary risks become more important than ever. Even the smallest mobs or environmental hazards like cactus, lava, and drowning turn into deadly threats. It transforms Minecraft into a completely new experience that feels fresh, intense, and exciting, even for seasoned players.
