Tracking Status Effects with Custom Heart Visuals

Recognizing Effect Variations

Dev’s Heart re-themes the health bar across different survival conditions and status effects. Instead of guessing how an effect is impacting your health, you can read your status directly from the altered heart styles:

• Poison Effect: Your health icons shift to custom green hearts when taking poison damage, such as from cave spiders or encounters near slimes.
• Wither Effect: The entire health bar changes to bold black heart containers when suffering from the Wither effect, signaling ongoing decay.
• Freezing: When exposed to extreme cold like powder snow, the health bar adapts with custom blue snowflake health icons and borders.

Monitoring Absorption Layers

When you eat an item such as an Enchanted Golden Apple, extra protective health is granted:

1. Consume the golden apple to trigger the absorption status.

2. Observe the custom yellow absorption hearts layered alongside or over your standard red health bar.

3. Watch these yellow icons deplete first when taking incoming damage, preserving your core red hearts underneath.
