Only One Heart
Only One Heart is a lightweight Fabric challenge mod for Minecraft Java Edition 26.2.
It limits the player to one heart by default, with an optional half-heart mode. The remaining heart stays still instead of constantly shaking at low health. The mod can also be turned off without removing it.
Features
- One Heart mode
- Optional Half Heart mode
- Off mode that restores vanilla health and HUD behavior
- Removes the low-health heart bounce
- Absorption hearts from golden apples and similar effects still work
- Temporary Health Boost and other max-health modifiers remain functional
- Supports Survival, Creative, Spectator and Hardcore
- Configuration through Mod Menu or commands
- Settings persist between sessions
Commands
/ooh/ooh status/ooh help/ooh mode one/ooh mode half/ooh mode off
The commands can be used in singleplayer without enabling cheats.
Configuration
Mod Menu is optional. All modes can also be selected using commands.
The configuration is stored in:
config/onlyoneheart.json
Health interactions
The mod limits the player's base maximum health.
Absorption hearts from golden apples remain available. Health Boost and other temporary max-health modifiers can add health above the selected base limit.
Turning the mod off restores the normal ten-heart maximum. It does not automatically heal missing health.
