Reading Health States During Underwater Exploration

Tracking Submerged Health and Drowning

Underwater exploration can quickly become hazardous when running low on breath bubbles or fighting submerged mobs like drowned. Dev’s Heart ensures your remaining life remains legible against dark water:

1. Submerge your character into an ocean, river, or lake.

2. Observe how the custom bold red hearts contrast against watery backgrounds and underwater lighting.

3. If your oxygen meter runs out, your character will begin drowning.

Differentiating Full, Half, and Empty Containers

As you take environmental drowning damage:

• Full hearts switch to distinctive half-heart stages, giving you an exact read on how much life you lose per damage tick.
• Depleted health displays as bold empty heart outlines rather than standard vanilla containers.
• If you take additional damage or use healing items while submerged, the high-contrast icons make it easy to tell whether you have enough health to reach the surface or need to consume healing items immediately.
