Natural Absorption Advanced Usage

Integration with Potions

Vanilla potions of Absorption still work with this mod. When a player consumes a Potion of Absorption or a Golden Apple, the temporary hearts are added to the current absorption pool. However, these temporary hearts will not regenerate once lost, unlike the "Natural" absorption provided by the mod.

Hardcore Mode Setup

For a more challenging experience, players can enable the replace_health config option. This forces the player to rely almost entirely on their regenerating shield, as their physical health is reduced to a single heart. In this mode, the recovery delay and rate become the most critical stats for survival, encouraging a "hit and run" playstyle.
