ITEM/s
There is 2 heart items but they have no purpose but to drive the life engine of this mod. The hearts do trigger stuff however, We might make the good heart craftable and consumable for additional life span, for the (1.14.4 version and newer) but 1.12.2 will stay forever in it's current state.
Purpose Of This Mod
To add realism to aging in game, hardcore means if the heart stops then it's permanent, this works on all "Peaceful, Normal, Hard, Hardcore" on "Adventure, Survival, Spectator, Creative" on any world and most likely with any mod in existence. The aim is to play the game as quickly as possible but also while staying alive and not dying once, because this mod rewards you lifespan everytime you sleep and wake up, use that as a tool to help you achieve a win, this game does have a generous 10 hours of starting gameplay and then like 10 bonus seconds, when you sleep you will get +1 minute to lifespan, with this mod activated and and all worlds are hardcore and timed.
To do list
Craftable consumable good heart for bonus lifespan, and potential other factors to reduce lifespan, maybe a 1 time craftable block like lucky block that has 50/50 chance of lowering or lengthening lifespan when crafted and used.
