Clarifaction:
Just to be clear im definitely not a doctor.
Vitality Aids introduces a dynamic and strategic layer to Minecraft's health management, shifting the focus from passive regeneration to active, tactical medical intervention. Prepare for a more immersive and challenging survival experience where every wound matters.
The Hemorrhage Effect: A Bleeding Edge Challenge
Hemorrhage is a debilitating status effect that transforms how you approach combat and survival. When applied, victims suffer from:
*Progressive Blood Loss: Taking continuous, painful damage over time.
*Debilitating Ailments: Inflicting additional negative status effects like Mining Fatigue and Weakness, severely impairing your ability to gather, fight, or escape.
*Healing Blocked: Standard food consumption will not restore health while Hemorrhage is active.
Activation [default] Conditions:
Hemorrhage can be triggered by critical combat scenarios, making careful maneuvering and preparation key:
*Massive Trauma: Taking 50% or more of your maximum health from a single, overwhelming attack.
*Low Health Vulnerability: Sustaining any damage while at or below 25% of your maximum health. This activation has a 50% chance for players and a 20% chance for other living entities (excluding undead).
This dangerous effect persists and escalates until specifically treated with specialized medicines, making prompt intervention crucial for survival.
Specialized Medicines: Your Lifeline
Vitality Aids introduces a wide array of unique medicines designed for specific treatments and recoveries. Unlike vanilla potions, these medicines require active application and offer targeted effects:
*Active Application: Medicines have a configurable application_time (e.g., 2-3 seconds) during which the player is slowed and vulnerable, adding a tactical element to healing in combat.
*Unique Animations & Particles: Each medicine can be configured to use distinct vanilla animations (like eating, drinking, or even crossbow loading) and emit unique particle effects during application and upon completion.
Targeted Effects: Medicines can be configured to:
- Directly heal health points.
- Clear specific negative status effects (e.g., Poison, Wither, Slowness, Nausea).
- Grant beneficial status effects (e.g., Regeneration, Speed, Absorption, Glowing) with custom durations and amplifiers.
- Hemorrhage Cure: Certain potent medicines are the only way to stop and cure the Hemorrhage effect, making them indispensable.
Control Over Your Healing Experience
*Natural Regeneration Control: The mod provides a configurable option to automatically set the vanilla natural_regeneration game rule. By default, this is set to false, effectively prioritizing Vitality Aids' medicines as the primary method of health recovery.
*Milk Bucket Override: By default, consuming a milk bucket will no longer clear all status effects. This ensures that the strategic importance of Vitality Aids' specialized medicines for cleansing specific ailments remains paramount.
*Can also apply medicines to others.
Highly Configurable: Tailor Your Survival
Vitality Aids is designed with extensive configurability, allowing modpack creators and players to fine-tune nearly every aspect of the mod to fit their desired difficulty and gameplay style and to add new custom medicines(to remove medicines delete their entry in the medicines field).
The configuration file, vitality_aids.json, found in your config directory, contains all tunable parameters:
