Description

❤️ Overcharged Hearts ❤️

Permanent Extra Health for Survival & RPG Packs

Overcharged Hearts introduces a fully new health progression system to Minecraft. Instead of relying on food-based regeneration, players can now unlock permanent extra hearts by gathering rare materials, crafting powerful items, and surviving dangerous encounters.

Designed for hardcore, RPG, Souls-like, and progression-heavy modpacks.

  • 🔥 How It Works
  • 🩸 Crystallised Heart Shards

Hostile mobs have a small chance to drop a special item: the Crystallised Heart Shard.

Collect enough shards and you can craft an item that permanently increases your maximum Overcharge Capacity.

❤️ Overcharged Hearts

Crafting and consuming an Overcharged Heart gives you +1 HP (half a heart), up to a total of 20 extra HP (10 hearts). These extra hearts appear as a separate absorption bar, but function as permanent HP:

  • Regenerate automatically
  • No hunger required
  • Only regenerate outside of combat
  • Lost completely when you die
  • Regeneration rate: 1 HP per 100 ticks
  • Combat lockout: 15 seconds

This makes the system feel like a blend of

  • ✔ Hardcore progression
  • ✔ Souls-like health management
  • ✔ Permanent character growth

🛡 Mob Drop Chances

🌍 Overworld (hostile mobs only)

  • 2% chance

🔥 Nether

  • 4% chance

👑 Bosses

  • Ender Dragon: 100%
  • Wither: 100%

🧱 Mini-Bosses

  • Warden: 50%
  • Elder Guardian: 50%

🐑 Passive mobs

  • Never drop shards

🍏 Golden Apple Adjustment

Golden Apples and Enchanted Golden Apples no longer grant Absorption hearts. Your Overcharged Hearts are now the only source of absorption-style extra HP.

Totems of Undying are unchanged.

⚙️ Compatibility

  • Forge 1.20.1
  • 100% multiplayer compatible
  • No configuration needed
  • Works flawlessly in large modpacks
  • Minimal footprint, no mixins, no coremods
