Craft and Use Heart Items to Raise Your Maximum Health

PvP is not the only way to grow your health bar. The addon includes craftable heart items. Each one gives you one extra heart when you use it.

Gathering materials

Heart item recipes use valuable materials. The ones named by the addon include:

• Netherite ingots. Mine ancient debris in the Nether, smelt it into netherite scrap, and combine the scrap with gold ingots.
• Nautilus shells. Fish them up, trade with wandering traders, or get them from drowned that are holding one.
• Dragon heads. Find them on the ships that appear near End cities.
• Other rare mob drops. Expect to hunt tougher mobs for some ingredients.

The exact recipe layouts are shown in the addon's crafting recipes and in your recipe book. Check there for which item goes in which slot rather than guessing.

Crafting and using a heart

1. Open a crafting table and arrange the materials in the shape the recipe shows.

2. Take the heart item from the output slot. Hover over it in your inventory to read its tooltip and confirm what it is.

3. Hold the heart item and use it the same way you would eat food or use any other usable item.

4. Check your health bar. Your maximum health should now be one heart higher.

Tip: Because the materials are expensive, use hearts to rebuild after a PvP loss or to prepare a buffer before a big fight.
