🫀 Body Health System
NeoForge 1.21.1 · v12.3.4
Tired of a single health bar? Body Health System replaces Minecraft's vanilla health with a full localized injury system — every part of your body can be wounded, fractured, or destroyed independently.
⚙️ How it works
Each attack targets a specific body part based on impact height and trajectory. An arrow to the head deals 1.5× damage and counts against head HP — not a shared pool. Every part has its own hearts, its own fracture state, and its own consequences.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Body parts | 6 |
| Fracture states | 4 |
| Medical items | 3 |
| Version | 12.0.3 |
🦴 Fracture system
Parts move through four states:
Healthy → Sprained → Broken → Shattered
Each state brings real consequences. Broken legs slow you down, a shattered torso is immediately lethal. Fractures heal naturally over time or faster with the right items.
⚡ Consequences per part
| Part | Effect when damaged |
|---|---|
| Head | Nausea (vision trouble) |
| Torso | Death at 0 HP |
| Right arm | Cannot break or place blocks |
| Left arm | Drops offhand item when destroyed |
| Legs | Slowness — worse as fracture progresses |
All debuffs are silent — no visible effect icons, only action bar messages so your HUD stays clean.
💊 Medical items
🩹 Bandage
Craft: White Wool + String (×4)
Heals the most injured part and improves its fracture state by one level. Works on Sprained and Broken — not on Shattered.
🏥 Medical Kit
Craft: Bandages + Chest + Gold Ingots
Heals all parts and can fix even Shattered bones. The only way to recover from a destroyed limb.
💉 Morphine Syringe
Craft: Glass + Blaze Powder + Iron Ingot (×2)
Suppresses all pain effects for 30 seconds. Use sparingly — overdose triggers after 3 doses and causes blindness, nausea and poison.
❤️ Absorption hearts
Golden apples and Enchanted golden apples grant yellow absorption hearts on the most injured part. The Totem of Undying grants 2 extra hearts on the torso when it activates. Absorption is consumed before HP when that part takes damage.
🛡️ Enchantment support
Since the vanilla health bar is hidden and health is managed separately, all protection enchantments are applied manually per hit:
- Protection — 4% reduction per level (all damage)
- Fire Protection — 8% per level (fire/lava)
- Blast Protection — 8% per level (explosions)
- Projectile Protection — 8% per level (arrows)
- Feather Falling — 12% per level on legs only
- Slow Falling (potion) — cancels all fall damage on legs
- Resistance (potion) — 20% per level, level 5 = immunity
🖥️ HUD
A custom pixel-art panel in the bottom-right corner displays:
- Your character assembled from 6 individual sprites, each colored independently:
- 🟢 Green = healthy (>65%)
- 🟠 Orange = injured (35–65%)
- 🔴 Red = critical (1–34%)
- ⚫ Black = destroyed (0%)
- Each part's hearts next to its label
- Fracture icons next to the hearts when applicable
- Yellow absorption hearts shown in surplus after the red hearts
