️ How the health system works

The main item is the Life Heart .

Using a Life Heart increases your maximum health. By default, each Life Heart adds 2 hearts .

The world owner can configure the maximum total health. The addon currently allows up to 100 total hearts if the admin chooses that limit.

By default, progression is divided into tiers, so you cannot instantly reach the final health limit without advancing through the world.

Vitality tiers

You must unlock the tiers in order.

If you get a higher-tier core early, you can keep it, but you cannot use it until the previous tier has been unlocked.

Vitality Altar

The Vitality Altar is now the main block for crafting important Life Increase items.

You can craft it with:

• Amethyst Shards

• Life Fragments

• Gold Ingots

• Crying Obsidian

The altar lets you craft:

• ️ Life Heart

• Empty Heart

The cost of a Life Heart depends on the world settings. By default it uses 9 Life Fragments , but admins can change the cost.

Life Ore and Life Fragments

Life Ore generates underground in the Overworld.

There are two versions:

• Life Ore

• Deepslate Life Ore

Breaking Life Ore with a valid pickaxe gives Life Fragments .

By default, Life Ore requires an iron pickaxe or better .

Fortune and Silk Touch

Fortune and Silk Touch are now handled better.

• Fortune increases the amount of Life Fragments.

• Silk Touch lets the ore drop itself instead of giving fragments.

The admin can also change the fragment yield rate. This changes how many fragments you get on average, but it does not change ore generation.

Available yield settings:

• Very Low

• Low

• Normal

• High

Life Essence

Life Essence is a new adventure material used for progression.

You can get it from:

• Hostile mob drops

• Special mobs with better chances

Most hostile mobs have a configurable base chance to drop Life Essence.

Some stronger mobs have special chances:

• Blaze

• Piglin Brute

• Ravager

• Evoker

• Elder Guardian

• Warden

• Wither

• Ender Dragon

Repeatable Challenges

The addon now has automatic challenges.

You do not need to accept anything. If the world setting is enabled, the addon tracks your progress while you play.

Miner Challenge

Mine 25 valid Life Ores and receive 2 Life Essence .

After completing it, the challenge starts again.

Warrior Challenge

Kill 100 valid hostile mobs and receive 4 Life Fragments .

You can check your progress in the Challenges section of the Life Increase Guide.

Exploration rewards

Exploring dimensions can also help your progression.

• First visit to the Nether gives 1 Life Essence

• First visit to The End gives 2 Life Essence

These rewards can be enabled or disabled by the world admin.

Boss progression

Bosses are now part of the vitality progression.

Wither and Warden

Defeating the Wither or Warden can reward an Ascendant Life Core .

This core unlocks Tier III .

Ender Dragon

Defeating the Ender Dragon can reward an End Life Core .

This core unlocks Tier IV , the final vanilla progression tier.

Boss rewards are shared with eligible players nearby, so this works better in multiplayer.

Custom boss rewards

Admins can also add custom bosses from other addons.

Each custom boss can be configured to give one specific reward:

• Tier II reward - Nether Life Core

• Tier III reward - Ascendant Life Core

• Tier IV reward - End Life Core

Custom bosses do not automatically choose a tier by themselves. The operator decides exactly what each boss gives.

This makes the addon easier to use with RPG, boss fight or adventure addons.

Life Increase Guide

Every player receives a Life Increase Guide the first time they join the world.

The guide is kept when you die, so you should not lose it easily.

If you lose it anyway, you can craft another one using:

• 1 Book

• 1 Redstone Dust

The guide lets you open:

• Vitality Status

• Challenges

• Personal Settings

• Guide Pages

• Admin Settings, only for operators

Personal Settings

Every player can choose their own feedback options:

• Show upgrade particles

• Play upgrade sounds

• Show progression messages

So if someone likes the effects and another player wants a cleaner experience, both can use their own preference.

️ Admin Settings

World operators can configure the addon directly in-game.

Some important settings include:

• Maximum total health

• Enable or disable tier progression

• Death behavior

• Life Fragment cost per Life Heart

• Empty Heart / removal setting

• Refund mode when removing hearts

• Life Ore fragment yield

• Life Essence mob drops

• Life Essence drop chance

• Boss progression

• Exploration rewards

• Custom pickaxes

• Custom ores

• Custom boss rewards

• Player vitality tools

️ Death behavior

The world owner can choose what happens to extra hearts when a player dies.

Available options:

• Keep all permanent hearts

• Lose 1 Life Upgrade

• Lose 25% of Life Upgrades

• Lose all Life Upgrades

• Drop all lost Life Hearts on death

This makes the addon useful for different types of worlds. You can make it friendly for survival, or more punishing for hardcore-style worlds.

Empty Heart

The Empty Heart lets players remove one Life Upgrade when this option is enabled.

Admins can also choose the refund mode:

• No refund

• Return 1 Life Fragment

• Return 50% of the Life Heart cost

• Return the full Life Heart

Empty Hearts are crafted at the Vitality Altar with:

• 4 Life Fragments

• 1 Glass Bottle

Addon compatibility

Life Increase can be configured to work better with other addons.

Admins can add:

• Custom pickaxe IDs

• Custom ore IDs

• Custom boss entity IDs

This helps Life Ore mining and progression rewards work with addon tools, addon ores and addon bosses.

Compatibility

No player.json

Life Increase does not use player.json , so it is easier to combine with other addons.

No experimental gameplay

This addon does not need experimental gameplay toggles to work correctly.

Realms and multiplayer

The addon is made to work in survival worlds, multiplayer and Realms.

Languages

Current included languages:

• English

• Spanish - Spain

• Spanish - Mexico

Both are required for the addon to work correctly.
