- Configure the maximum hearts a player can have (default 20, set via gamerule)
- Set a players hearts via command
Gamerules:

- /gamerule canRestoreHearts true/false (default is true)
Commands:
- /playerhearts _value (_set the current hearts of a player)

You can gain hearts by eating enchanted golden apples.
