Restore Default Hearts While Keeping the Pack Installed

Temporarily Disabling the Pack

The quickest way to see vanilla hearts is to uncheck New Hearts in your resource packs menu without removing it. This keeps your settings intact while reverting to Minecraft's default red hearts.

Creating a Backup Configuration

If you frequently toggle between custom and default hearts:

• Duplicate your New Hearts folder
• Rename the duplicate (e.g., "New Hearts - Backup")
• Keep both versions in your resource packs folder
• Enable or disable each as needed

Editing the Pack Directly

For a permanent switch without uninstalling, you can replace the heart texture files with vanilla versions:

• Extract the default Minecraft textures from the base game
• Copy the vanilla heart PNG files into New Hearts' textures/gui/hearts folder
• Reload the pack (F3 + T)

This overwrites the pastel colors while keeping the pack structure, so you can easily swap textures back later by restoring the original files.
