About this Mod
❤️ Ruby Heart Progression
Start your game with three hearts and experience a new pacing and progression system inspired by Terraria! Adds new items that expand your max hearts, grant special effects, and change how damage and health progression work.
🧩 Overview
Ruby Heart Progression reimagines Minecraft’s health system by introducing a true sense of growth.
You’ll begin fragile, with only three hearts, but through crafting and discovery, you will expand your vitality and unlock new forms of survival.
💎 Core Items
❤️ Ruby Heart
Adds permanent hearts on top of your existing health until you reach a full row.
These hearts persist after death, making them your foundation for long-term progression.
Crafting Recipe:
- 🍎 Apple
- 🔴 Redstone
- 🕷️ Spider Eye
- 🌺 Poppy
Consume it to permanently gain one heart (up to your first full row).
🌸 Heartbloom Fruit
An edible heart extender that also restores hunger and offers temporary regeneration and durability effects.
Its main role is to fill your second row of hearts once Ruby Hearts have maxed out.
Crafting Recipe:
- 🍏 Enchanted Golden Apple
- ✨ Glow Berries
- 🐡 Pufferfish
- 🔥 Magma Cream
A rare and valuable consumable for advanced progression.
💀 Soul Heart
A special kind of absorption heart that takes damage instead of your main health and disappears when depleted.
They serve as temporary protection; ideal for combat situations or as a safety buffer.
You can craft Soul Hearts in two ways:
Option 1:
- ❤️ Ruby Heart
- 😢 Ghast Tear → Yields 4 Soul Hearts
Option 2:
- 🦑 Glow Ink Sac
- 💎 2× Amethyst Shards
- 👻 Phantom Membrane
Details:
- Can stack up to half a row
- Cooldown of 1.5 seconds between activations
- Not meant for spam use, more so to prep before PvP & PvE battles
- Alternative to golden apples with unique risk-reward playstyle
A temporary, strategical buffer to protect your hearts
