Start a New World with X-Life Mod

Understanding Your Starting Health

When you create a new world with X-Life Mod enabled, you will spawn with only 1 heart of maximum health. This is intentional and forms the core of the mod's progression system. You are vulnerable, so avoid combat and environmental damage until you've increased your health pool.

Your First Steps

1. Spawn into your world and immediately assess your surroundings

2. Focus on gathering basic resources (wood, stone, food) without taking damage

3. Build a safe shelter quickly—even a small enclosed space protects you from mobs

4. Avoid deep caves, lava, and hostile mobs until you've died at least once and increased your hearts

5. Gather food sources early; with only 1 heart, hunger management is critical

Progression Strategy

Consider your first death as inevitable and part of progression. Some players intentionally take a controlled death (like falling from a low height) to reach 2 hearts and gain more survivability. Plan your early game around this limitation—stay near your spawn, avoid risky situations, and prioritize safety over speed.
