Take the hit. Keep the run.
v1.3.0 ┃ Bedrock 26.40+ ┃ No Cheats Needed ┃ Achievement-Friendly ┃ Hardcore Ready
✦ ＡＢＯＵＴ ✦
Half-Heart Immortality (HHI) stops your health from ever dropping below half a heart. Mobs, lava, fall damage, explosions... you'll survive all of it with exactly one HP left.
Operators (including the world owner in singleplayer) are protected by default, and operators decide who else gets it. Every command works without cheats, even in Hardcore, so your world keeps its achievements.
Inspired by bo_bo0's Immortality Mod for Java Edition. I used it a lot on Java and couldn't find anything quite like it for Bedrock, so I made my own.
✦ ＷＨＡＴ'Ｓ ＮＥＷ ＩＮ １.３.０ ✦
| ⏱️ Challenge Cooldown Use /hhi:cooldown <seconds> so you're only saved once in a while. Die again during the cooldown and it's over. Off by default. |
👤 Per-Player Cooldown Give one player their own cooldown with /hhi:cooldown <seconds> <player>. Perfect for handicaps in a group or a harder run for yourself. |
| 📊 Scoreboard Support Map makers can set per-player cooldowns from command blocks with the hhi_cooldown scoreboard objective. |
❤️ Fairer Protection Hits that wouldn't kill you now work exactly like vanilla, and golden apple hearts are used up properly before protection steps in. |

| ❤️ | Half-heart protection — fatal damage is blocked and your health stays at exactly half a heart. |
| 🧑🤝🧑 | Multiplayer ready — works on servers, Realms and LAN, with operators in full control of who is protected. |
| 🏆 | Achievement-friendly — no cheats needed for any command, including in Hardcore. |
| ✨ | Totem-friendly — holding a Totem of Undying in your main hand or off hand? It pops as usual. |
| ⏱️ | Optional cooldown — turn HHI into a challenge: saved once, then vulnerable for a while. Set it for the whole world or per player. |
| 🛠️ | Admin control kept — /kill and the void still work like vanilla. |
| 📦 | Lightweight — behavior pack only. No textures, sounds or resource pack, and no Beta APIs. |
| 🌍 | 29 languages — players see operator notifications in their own language. |
✦ ＣＯＭＭＡＮＤＳ ✦
All commands work without cheats. Type /hhi:commands in game to see the ones you can use.
| Command | Access | What it does |
|---|---|---|
/hhi:commands |
Everyone | Lists the commands you can use |
/hhi:status [player] |
Everyone | Shows who has immortality and why |
/hhi:self <true|false> |
Operators | Turns your own immortality on or off |
/hhi:immortality <true|false> [player] |
Operators | Turns immortality on or off for a player or selector |
/hhi:reset [player] |
Operators | Makes players follow the world default and world cooldown again |
/hhi:default [operators|everyone|nobody] |
Operators | Shows or changes who has immortality by default |
/hhi:cooldown [seconds] |
Operators | Shows or sets the world cooldown (0 = off) |
/hhi:cooldown <seconds> <player> |
Operators | Sets a player's own cooldown, which beats the world cooldown |
💡 NOTE: Bedrock's command list also shows shorter versions without the hhi: prefix (like /immortality). This is normal engine behavior, not a bug.
✦ ＧＯＯＤ ＴＯ ＫＮＯＷ ✦
- By default only operators are protected. Want every player protected? Have an operator run
/hhi:default everyone. - Hardcore follows the same rules as every other game mode: operators are protected by default, and operators decide for everyone else.
/killstill works on purpose, so admins can easily reset players who get stuck or bugged out.- The void still kills on purpose, so nobody gets softlocked falling forever, especially in Hardcore.
- Only player health is affected. Achievements, mob health and world mechanics stay vanilla.
- The cooldown only starts after a save. Hits in the same moment as the save (like an explosion plus fall damage) are still blocked.
- The time left on a cooldown resets when the world is closed. Cooldown settings are kept.
- Map makers:
/scoreboard players set <player> hhi_cooldown <seconds>works too, but/scoreboardneeds cheats./hhi:cooldowndoesn't.
| ⚠️ UPGRADING FROM v1.2.x All your settings are kept. The cooldown is off until an operator turns it on. ⚠️ UPGRADING FROM v1.1.x Settings you made with /hhi:immortality are kept. On multiplayer worlds, non-operators who were never given immortality with a command will lose it after the update. To bring back the old "everyone is protected" behavior, run /hhi:default everyone. |
✦ ＦＡＱ ✦
Q: Does this disable Hardcore's permadeath completely?
A: No. Protected players won't be killed by mobs or the environment, but /kill and the void still kill. In multiplayer Hardcore, non-operators aren't protected unless an operator gives it to them or sets /hhi:default everyone.
Q: Do I need to turn on cheats to use the commands?
A: Nope. Every HHI command works without cheats, including in Hardcore, so your world keeps its achievements.
Q: My friends lost their immortality after updating. Why?
A: Since v1.2.0, only operators are protected by default. Run /hhi:default everyone to protect every player again, or /hhi:immortality true <player> for specific players.
Q: Can I turn it off for just one player?
A: Yes. An operator can use /hhi:immortality false <player>, and /hhi:reset <player> puts them back on the world default later.
Q: Can I make it harder, like a challenge run?
A: Yes. Run /hhi:cooldown 60 and you're only saved once a minute. Use /hhi:cooldown 60 @s to make it apply only to you.
Q: Is it compatible with other add-ons?
A: It only listens to damage taken by players and doesn't touch blocks, items or other entities, so it should work with pretty much any other add-on.
Q: Do I need to enable Beta APIs?
A: Nah. HHI uses the stable Scripting API, and future updates will never use Beta APIs.
Q: Does it stop working after my health regenerates?
A: No. Eat food or drink a Potion of Regeneration, get hit back down to half a heart, and you still won't die.
