Victus - Custom Hearts
Improving lives - one heart at a time
About this Mod
Victus is a mod about Hearts and how to use them in interesting ways. You may have seen one of the many "Minecraft but there are Custom Hearts" videos, and Victus is a gameplay-friendly implementation of precisely that concept. You craft custom hearts, the so called Heart Aspects which you can then apply on top of your health bar for interesting and often useful effects when they get broken.
Embark on your journey into the min-maxer's paradise as you experiment to slowly build the perfect health bar for your playstyle
Among the aspects are:
The Archery Aspect, which fires arrows at your enemies 
The Draconic Aspect, which summons Dragon's Breath
The Evoking Aspect, which spawns Vexes
The Totem Aspect, which works like a Totem of Undying
And many more!
For an in-depth explanation of Victus' mechanics and each individual aspect, seek out the Victus Journal, our fully featured in game guidebook. Please note that for this exact reason Patchouli is a required dependency
