About this project
What does Cardiac add?

Cardiac is a tiny Minecraft mod that introduces a new gameplay mechanic where defeated mobs drop life orbs. These orbs can be collected by players to regain health, adding a simple strategic element to survival and combat. The mod is designed to be compatible with most Minecraft mods and configurable as possible. But it's still easy to install and integrates smoothly into the game without any additional configuration.
