After

Regeneration

Regeneration creates a smooth wave that travels across the health bar as your hearts are restored

New regeneration animation

Poison

Small animated bubbles appear around poisoned hearts, making the effect easier to notice without covering the HUD

Poison effect

Burning Hearts

When you are on fire, animated flames appear directly around your hearts and follow the health bar

Hearts while on fire

FAQ

Can I add this mod to my modpack?

Yes, of course! This mod was created for exactly this purpose

Does this mod work with resource packs?

Yes, Animated Hearts uses Minecraft's HUD textures instead of replacing heart textures, so it should work with most resource packs that modify vanilla hearts

Does this affect performance?

No. This mod is extremely lightweight and has virtually no impact on FPS. It only adds visual heart animations without affecting gameplay performance
