Life Crystals

This compact mod introduces special life crystals into the game that allow you to increase your character's maximum health pool.

To craft a life crystal, you need to collect six shards. These shards are mined from special ore that generates at the same levels and with similar rarity as diamonds. Mining the ore requires an iron pickaxe or a higher-level tool.

Additionally, life crystal shards, and sometimes complete crystals, can be found in various dungeon chests. They appear in ancient cities, buried treasures, desert pyramids, abandoned mineshafts, and other similar locations. If needed, this feature can be disabled through the configuration file.

Mod settings are adjusted in the life_crystals.json file:

{
  // The amount of health each life crystal provides (2 units equal 1 heart)
  "healthIncrement": 2,
  // The starting health amount for each player
  "baseHealth": 20,
  // The maximum allowed health amount
  "maxHealth": 60,
  // The chance of finding life crystals in dungeon chests
  "lootChestChance": 0.5,
  // Determines whether crystals and shards should be found in dungeon chests
  "addChestLoot": true
}
