Configure Health Progression Speed
Accessing Mod Settings
The mod includes configuration options to customize how quickly you gain hearts. These settings control the difficulty and pacing of your health progression.
Adjusting XP Requirements
1. Locate the mod config file in your instance's configuration folder (usually named config/ or similar).
2. Open the Health Levels configuration file with a text editor.
3. Find the XP-per-heart setting and adjust the value. Lower numbers make hearts easier to earn; higher numbers slow progression.
4. Set minimum and maximum health limits if desired—this caps how many extra hearts you can obtain.
5. Save the file and restart your game or server for changes to take effect.
Common Adjustments
- Faster progression: Reduce XP cost per heart for a more casual experience.
- Hardcore survival: Increase XP cost to make each heart a significant achievement.
- Hard cap on power: Set a maximum health level so late-game doesn't become trivial.
Test settings in a creative world first to find the balance that suits your playstyle.
