Hearts & Food

Your survival is all about what you eat and how you build up your strength—literally!
Let’s dive into how you can turn those humble 2 hearts of health into a true warrior’s vitality.

Starting Small: 2 Hearts, Big Dreams

In this world, every new life begins with just 2 hearts of health. That’s right, you’re not the tanky hero you might be in vanilla Minecraft. But don’t worry—there’s a way to beef up that health bar, and it all starts with what you eat.

The Power of First Bites

Every time you eat a new food item for the first time in your life, you’ll gain an additional half a heart of health. It’s like getting stronger with every new flavor you try!
And yes, it works with any food—cooked, uncooked, even the weird stuff.

Every new food item gives you an advancement notification, so you’ll know when you’ve added another half heart to your total. Keep munching your way through the menu, and watch your health bar climb!

Track Your Progress

Want to keep track of what foods you’ve tried and what’s still out there? Just pop open the advancement screen. Every new food unlocks an advancement, so you can see exactly what’s left on your culinary checklist.

Generational Strength: The Power of Community

If you’re starting out as a Generation 1 player in the wilderness, finding a variety of food might be tough. You might only manage to scrounge up a few hearts.
But as your community grows and establishes itself over multiple generations, those who come after you will have access to a broader range of foods. Future generations can easily fill up their health, making them stronger and better equipped to handle whatever the world throws at them.

Your hard work in setting up farms and food sources today makes life easier for those who follow.
