With this datapack enabled, if a player was to use a totem of undying, they would lose a permanant heart. This is done in an attempt to balance totems in Hardcore Mode. For example, if you were at 10 hearts and had to use a totem, you would now only have 9 permanent hearts. This stops after being on 1 heart as after that, any totem just sends the player to half a heart so totems never fully stop working.

Extra Info: Please note that if you don't know how to manually load datapacks, you should use the Global Packs mod as well (Made by JTK222)

Have fun with the datapack! Let me know of any bugs, issues or requests via comments or discord (User: EggsCracked)
