Animated Hearts

❤️ Animated Hearts

Animated Hearts replaces the vanilla half-heart with a fully animated blinking heart, creating a smoother
and more visually appealing health bar while preserving Minecraft's original look

❌Before

✨After

Instead of displaying a static half-heart when you have half a heart of health, the mod renders a full heart with a subtle blinking animation. This makes your health bar feel more alive while staying faithful to the classic vanilla aesthetic
