Health Overhaul

The Health Overhaul provides few features to both ease and improve the challenge around player health.

First of all, it provides a way to increase the player maximum health via 2 new items :

The Heart Fragments and the Heart Containers.

hearts

You can find Heart Fragments here :

Buried Treasure Jungle Temple Abandoned Mineshaft Bastion Treasure

It also introduces the concept of Broken Heart.

broken

Broken Hearts diminishes temporarly the player max health when a limb is fully damaged.

Be aware to not let your limbs broken, as the number of Broken Hearts inflicted is proportional to the player maximum health.

The Broken Hearts are countered by a newly introduced attribute : the Resilient Hearts. No matter how much Broken Hearts you get, the player will always keep its Resilient Hearts.

Finally, the Health Overhaul allows the player to keep the "Absorption Heart" given by the Golden Apple under the name of Shield Hearts. Those Shield Hearts are consumed when losing health, but won't disappear over time.

shields

Even if not enabled by default, there is also the possibility to configure a loss of heart upon player's death. And the loss of heart is countered by a newly introduced attribute : the Permanent Hearts. A player won't lose the Permanent Hearts upon death.

The health overhaul is highly configurable. Here is a list of the things you can tweak :

Spoiler

Adjust the number of Broken Hearts inflicted due to fully damaged limbs

Adjust the maximum additional health a player can get via the Heart Containers

Adjust the maximum Shield Hearts a player can get via the Golden Apple (or any Absorption Effect)

Enable or not the conversion of temporary absorption hearts into permanent Shield Hearts

Adjust how much hearts a player lose upon death

Configure the default Resilient Hearts and the default Permanent Hearts of the player

Configure a new initial health for the players (by default, players start with 20 health = 10 hearts)
