Phytons Hearts
Ever wanted an item that could increase or decrease your hearts? Great for custom survival experiences, hardcore challenges, or RPG-style progression. Includes a few achievements. Compatible with multiplayer!
Additions
💖 Health Upgrade – Permanently increases your maximum hearts. If you exceed two full health bars (20 hearts), the extra hearts become temporary and will disappear one by one upon death.
🖤 Health Ripper – Permanently reduces your maximum hearts, allowing for unique challenge runs or strategic gameplay adjustments. Consuming this will give you your heart back, which can be reconsumed to regain your health.
💀 Dying - will cause you to lose temporary hearts, but permanent hearts will not be removed. The number of permanent hearts can be configured.

Datapack drawbacks!
Due to limitations with datapacks, the items will not appear in the creative inventory list. As well as not having entries in mods such as JEI.
For mod users: This applies as well, since the mod version is just the repackaged datapack
These limitations should however in no way affect other gameplay :)
