Max health lowers the further you are from friends
This datapack changes the maximum health of individual players the further they are from the group's average location. It does not account for dimensions, only coordinates. By Default, the location updates every minute and you lower a heart every 20 blocks away from this location. However, with the below commands you can increase the update speed all the way to every 1s, and change how much distance it takes to lose health (from every 10 blocks to every 100 blocks). If any bugs occur, try /reload, and if they still occur please let me know. This gamemode can be used for a one time gimmick, or to encourage players on a small server to work together and not all go off and cause lots of exploration-based-lag.
Note: Due to the way minecraft works, the visual of your max health changing might not always update immediately. Sometimes it does, sometimes it does not. It definitely will once you heal/take damage.
Update: At close proximity, players gain buffs to reward sticking together (dolphins grace, speed, & regen)
