Attrition: death reduces max health

Minecraft 版本： 1.21.5

平台： datapack

标签： adventure game-mechanics utility

Attrition is a simple, vanillalike data pack that’s designed for players who want something harder than regular survival, but not quite as harsh as hardcore mode. Here’s how it works:

• You lose one heart of max health each time you die
• You can gain one heart of max health each time you eat an enchanted golden apple, up to a maximum of 20 hearts
• If you die with only one heart of max health left, you lose the game and are put into spectator mode

What else does it do?

Attrition plays sounds and displays custom chat messages whenever any of these three events happen, but it has no effect on any other aspect of gameplay. This pack is meant to blend in well with vanilla Minecraft – almost as if it were simply an alternative gamemode. For expanded features like lifesteal and multiplayer revive, check out Attrition's companion data pack, Contrition (https://modrinth.com/datapack/contrition/).

Options menu

A custom options menu for Attrition is available via the /function mp.attr:display_options command. You can use this menu to test out the data pack, customize your experience with it, or uninstall it. Example screenshots are available in the gallery.

Resource pack

Attrition includes an optional resource pack by AmyTheMudkip (https://twitter.com/AmyTheMudkip) that subtly retextures the player’s heads-up display, including the health bar, armor bar, and hunger bar. A side-by-side comparison is available in the gallery.
