About this Mod
This datapack links the health bar of every online player on the server. This means that when one player heals, they all heal. When one player takes damage, they all take damage and when one player dies, they all die.
Damage another player takes will bypass any armour or resistance you have and damage cooldown ticks.
If you are holding a totem and another player dies, your totem will activate but rather than receiving absorption and regeneration, your health is just reset to full.
If you are holding a totem and take damage which activates it, any other player who is not holding a totem will die.
If one player eats a golden apple, the absorption hearts will be applied to all players. This also works for enchanted golden apples.

Shared Life server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong datapack version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Shared Life compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and quilt?
Shared Life officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, quilt for Minecraft 1.20.2, 1.20.1, 1.20. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Shared Life – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Shared Life consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
