FAQ
Can I add this mod to my modpack?
Yes, of course! This mod was created for exactly this purpose
Does this mod work with resource packs?
Yes, Animated Hearts uses Minecraft's HUD textures instead of replacing heart textures, so it should work with most resource packs that modify vanilla hearts
Does this affect performance?
No. This mod is extremely lightweight and has virtually no impact on FPS. It only adds visual heart animations without affecting gameplay performance
