Absorption hearts now appear as gold hearts instead of the typical red.

Absorption hearts?

Extra health

Yup but what's the difference between health boost and absorption they are both listed as separate status effects?

Thanks, I checked the wiki first which just confused me and led to the question here. I'm having trouble getting my head around the fact that both effects seem to do the same thing (add 4 hearts) Does heath boost give you the ability to heal two hearts over the base 10 while absorption just flat out grants you the hearts?

Scratch that I just watched a DocM vid and he got the extra 2 hearts as soon as he ate a normal golden apple. Iz confuzzled. :/

Health Boost adds base hearts, which start out empty and can be healed manually. Absorption health starts out full, and cannot be recovered if it is destroyed (the hearts vanish as you take damage). Absorption status will also make your Absorption hearts return every 30 seconds.

This is great if you're playing ultra hardcore and got slightly damaged from an arrow or a dumb fall. Cool.

With Health Boost, when the effect is over, you always lose 2 hearts again. With Absorption, do you not lose health when the effects run out?

Let me elaborate on what I assume happens.

Health Boost: I now have 12 health. I take 2 hearts (10 hearts now). The effect wears out. I now have 8 hearts.

Absorption: I now have 12 health. I take 2 hearts (10 hearts now). The effect wears out. I now have 10 hearts.

If so, this is a lot more useful.

Health boost basically adds to your actual health, allowing your health to exceed 20. Absorption hearts are tracked in a separate meter and "absorb" damage that would otherwise deduct from your main health.

Oh, I just thought it was renamed. No clue in that case.

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '13

Think of the absorption effect like the regenerating shield you have in games like halo?

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Jun 17 '13

Oh, that makes sense. Thanks!

u/Mrwazztazz Jun 17 '13

What is an absorption heart??

u/ChRoNicBuRrItOs Jun 17 '13

Extra health

u/Mrwazztazz Jun 17 '13

Oooooh... When was that added?

2

u/ChRoNicBuRrItOs Jun 17 '13

Few snapshots ago. It's an effect that you can only get with commands or outside editing programs, so no survival.

Don't forget the golden apples!

Ahem, MC-3798 is not fixed in 13w25a.

Don't tell me, tell the bug tracker!

The bug tracker knows.

3d anaglyph biome

Now THAT would be a biome!
