Health Canisters
Adds a new way to increase your maximum health.
About this Mod
It is a vanilla friendly, minor mod that allows you increase your maximum health points and adds couple of other stuff.
It brings 6 new items as well as 4 new crafting recipes.
Obtaining hearts is a bit tricky since it is hard to keep them in the inventory.
By default, you can only drop hearts when you are not at full health. When you're not at full health, collecting a heart off the ground will restore your missing health immediately.
To keep hearts in your inventory, you must drop them and then collect them when you are back at full health.
Golden hearts cannot be kept in the inventory, and by default, they can only be dropped when your health is full.
First one being normal and second one golden.
Default hearts heal you golden ones grant you absorption that can be stacked.
As an owner I do not allow my mod to be reposted on sites other than CurseForge.
Feel free to use this mod in your modpacks.
