Gain XP, Gain Hearts

by Miimimiimi · 2026-07-10 · Data packs

Try my new survival mechanic! You start with only 4 hearts. Every 5 levels your max health increases until you have a total of 10 hearts. XP is an underutilized aspect of Minecraft. This data pack makes it more rewarding with a very simple change! The more experienced and active you are, the stronger you are. Dying resets your hearts back to 4. Normally death isn't much of a threat, but with this data pack, players will want to avoid dying. It could be interesting on a multiplayer server. Don't worry: losing XP levels doesn't make you lose health, so repairing and enchanting aren't affected.
