Health

For how this works in unmodified Minecraft, see Health on the Minecraft Wiki.

Health

Type	Mechanic

Health in Matcha Flavoured works as in vanilla Minecraft, except that it never regenerates on its own and the player's maximum health changes over the course of a world. Players start with 10 hearts (20 ( × 10)), can raise this to 30 hearts with crystal hearts, and lose maximum health when they die.

Mechanics

Maximum health

The pack stores each player's maximum health in a scoreboard and sets the player's max_health attribute from it.

Value	Health	Notes
Starting health	20 ( × 10)	Taken from the player's attribute when they first join.
Maximum	60 ( × 30)	30 hearts; crystal hearts can't be used beyond this.
Floor on Easy	20 ( × 10)	Death never lowers maximum health below 10 hearts.
Floor on Normal and Hard	20 ( × 10) down to 6 ( × 3)	The player's minimum hearts, lowered by progression. See Death#Minimum hearts.

• Each death lowers maximum health by 1 heart (2 on Hard).
• Each crystal heart used raises it by 1 heart.
• Staying withered for 8 seconds lowers it like a death; see Wither effect.

Temporary extra health from  Health Boost and  Absorption works as in vanilla and isn't counted.

Healing

Main article: Natural regeneration

The natural_health_regeneration game rule is turned off, so a full hunger bar never heals the player. Health has to be restored actively:

• Food: most of the pack's foods heal through Instant Health or  Regeneration instead of restoring hunger. See Hunger.
•  Raw Estus, dropped by undead mobs, heals the player when picked up.
• A warding stone heals players and other friends of villagers nearby.
• Some equipment, such as Shakudo equipment, restores health.
• A crystal heart, when used, sets health to 1 and then applies Regeneration XI for 3 seconds.

Hunger

Main article: Hunger

The hunger bar is hidden and held at a level where the player can always sprint. It has no effect on health.

Difficulty

	Peaceful	Easy	Normal	Hard
Maximum health lost per death	2 ( × 1)	2 ( × 1)	2 ( × 1)	4 ( × 2)
Lowest maximum health after deaths	no floor	20 ( × 10)	20 ( × 10) to 6 ( × 3)	20 ( × 10) to 6 ( × 3)

History

0.3-alpha	Heart containers replaced by crystal hearts; health system refined.
1.12.1-alpha	Maximum health can fall below 10 hearts on Normal and Hard. Hardcore-style heart textures added.
1.12.2	Minimum hearts tracked per player.

Trivia

• The developer removed natural regeneration so that food takes over the role of potions: "You have to eat to heal and you're never given a limitation on sprinting."
