Harder Natural Healing Mod gives you control over the healing process in the game, allowing you to customize difficulty to your liking. It makes beacons, bandages, potions, healing items, and spells more valuable. By default, the mod slows down natural healing and adds a small health recovery boost each morning when the player wakes up.
