Colorful Hearts Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I change my heart colors in Colorful Hearts?
Open the mod's config file and edit the hex color codes (#RRGGBB) assigned to each health row. Save the file and reload the game or world for the changes to apply.
What format do the heart color codes need to be in?
Colors must be written as hex codes in #RRGGBB format, such as #FF0000 for red. If the code isn't formatted correctly, the mod will likely fall back to a default color.
Why are all my hearts in one row instead of multiple rows?
That's the mod's core feature — it consolidates your health into a single row and uses different colored hearts to represent what would normally be separate rows. Each color corresponds to a row of health in the config.
How do I know which color represents which row of health?
The order of colors in the config file maps to your health rows in sequence. The first color entry covers your first row of hearts, the second entry covers the next row, and so on.
There's a black box behind my half absorption heart, how do I fix it?
This is the exact issue Colorful Hearts fixes by adding background textures for half hearts. Make sure the mod is loaded correctly and that no other HUD mod is overriding the heart rendering.
Does Colorful Hearts work with AppleSkin?
Yes, Colorful Hearts is compatible with AppleSkin. If you see rendering conflicts, check that both mods are up to date and that no other HUD mod is interfering.
Will Colorful Hearts conflict with Raised or Farmer's Delight?
No, the mod is explicitly compatible with Raised and Farmer's Delight. Just make sure you're not running another mod that also replaces vanilla heart rendering, as that would cause a conflict.
My heart colors aren't changing after I edit the config — what went wrong?
Common causes are a typo in the hex code (missing the # or using invalid characters) or not reloading the game after saving. Double-check the format and restart your game or world.
Can I use the same color for every row of hearts?
Yes, you can set all rows to the same hex code if you prefer a uniform look. The single-row layout will still work, but you'll lose the visual distinction between health rows.
Does Colorful Hearts affect performance or cause lag?
No, the mod only changes how hearts are rendered on the HUD, so it has negligible impact on performance. Any lag you experience is almost certainly from another mod or the base game.
