💔 Fractured Hearts
Every death shatters your hearts. Recover them with rare apples, or face oblivion.
Fractured Hearts adds a permanent death penalty system to Minecraft — each time you die, you lose hearts. Recover them by crafting expensive enchanted golden apples, or enable permadeath for the ultimate hardcore challenge. Steal hearts from your enemies in PvP, customize everything, and make every decision matter.
