Health Levels Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I start gaining extra hearts?
Collect experience points (XP) as you normally would by mining, killing mobs, or smelting. Once you reach the XP threshold set in the mod's configuration, you'll automatically gain an extra heart. Check your health bar to see your progress.
Can I see how much XP I need for the next heart?
The mod displays your current health level in-game, but the exact XP requirement depends on your configuration settings. You can check the config file to see how much XP per heart is required, or look for a status display if one is enabled in your version.
What happens to my extra hearts when I die?
By default, extra hearts earned through XP are lost on death, but you can disable this in the mod's configuration file by toggling the 'reset on death' option to keep your progress.
Is there a maximum number of hearts I can get?
Yes, the mod has a configurable maximum health level cap. You can adjust this limit in the config file to suit your gameplay style, whether you want a low cap for challenge or a high one for late-game progression.
Can I change how much XP is needed per heart?
Yes, the mod is fully customizable through its configuration file. You can adjust the XP cost per heart to make progression faster or slower depending on your preferred difficulty.
Do I lose XP progress toward the next heart when I die?
This depends on your configuration—you only lose the extra hearts themselves if 'reset on death' is enabled, but your accumulated XP toward the next heart is preserved as normal Minecraft XP loss rules apply.
Does this mod work with other mods that add health or XP systems?
Compatibility depends on how other mods handle health and XP mechanics. Most mods work together, but conflicts can occur with mods that heavily modify health bars or XP systems—test in your modpack or check mod documentation for known issues.
Can I disable the mod for specific players or worlds?
You can disable the mod entirely by removing it from your mods folder, but selective per-player or per-world disabling typically requires configuration options in the mod itself or through a mod manager that supports per-world settings.
Why am I not gaining extra hearts even though I'm collecting XP?
Check that the mod is properly installed and enabled, verify your XP threshold settings in the config file aren't set impossibly high, and ensure you're actually reaching the required XP amount—use a debug display or config checker if available.
Does gaining extra hearts affect my hunger or other survival mechanics?
Extra hearts only increase your maximum health pool and don't directly affect hunger, saturation, or other survival stats—those remain unchanged by this mod.
