How to Keep Your Extra Hearts After Rejoining a Server

Why Your Health Keeps Resetting

In vanilla Minecraft, the Max Health attribute is applied when you join a world, but the game only restores your health up to the default cap. If your gear, potions, or effects push your maximum health above that default, rejoining can drop you back down to the baseline value. This mod corrects that behavior so your current health is preserved.

What You Need to Do

1. Confirm the mod is present on the side that matters. In single-player, it must be on your client. On a multiplayer server, it must be installed on the server so the fix applies to everyone.

2. Equip whatever gives you bonus max health (armor, trinkets, or active effects) and let your health fill to its raised maximum.

3. Leave the world or disconnect normally.

4. Rejoin and check your health bar. With the fix active, you should rejoin at the health value you had, not the default.

If It Still Resets

Make sure the source of your bonus health is still equipped or active when you rejoin. The mod preserves your health, but it cannot keep a raised maximum if the item or effect providing it is gone. Also verify the mod is loaded on the correct side, since a client-only install will not fix a multiplayer server.
