[[File:Hotbar with xp.png|thumb|class=pixel-image|350px|The health bar is shown above the hotbar, to the other side of the hunger bar.]]<br />
<br />
'''Health''' is the fundamental condition that an [[Minecraft:entity]] needs to survive. Health can be recovered by [[Minecraft:healing]], through natural regeneration, or by using [[Minecraft:status effect]]s.<br />
<br />
== Regaining health ==<br />
Players can recover health naturally by having their hunger at least {{hunger|18}} and the gamerule {{code|naturalRegeneration}} is set to {{code|true}}, or through [[Minecraft:status effect]]s.<br />
=== Mobs ===<br />
[[Minecraft:Horse]]s, [[Minecraft:donkey]]s, [[Minecraft:mule]]s, [[Minecraft:skeleton horse]]s, [[Minecraft:zombie horse]]s, [[Minecraft:llama]]s, [[Minecraft:trader llama]]s, [[Minecraft:camel]]s, [[Minecraft:camel husk]]s, [[Minecraft:allay]]s, [[Minecraft:happy ghast]]s, and the [[Minecraft:wither]]{{only|je}} are the only mobs that regenerate health naturally over time.<br />
<br />
== Health bar ==<br />
The '''health bar''' displays how much health the player has left, rounded up to the nearest {{hp|1}} health point. It is usually based on a single row of 10 heart icons. Each full heart contains two halves, one health point each (the player normally has 20 maximum health points).<br />
<br />
The [[Minecraft:Regeneration]] effect makes health regenerate fairly quickly, and the hearts of the health bar bounce in a wave.<br />
<br />
If the health bar shows {{Hp|4|notag=1|total=20}} or less, it begins to shake violently, warning that the player is low on health.<br />
<br />
The player's health bar is invisible while holding or wearing an item that gives negative health points that exceed the player's current health points. For example, the player's default health is 20, and if holding an item with the attribute &minus;21 health, the player can take two hits before dying, regardless of how much damage these hits inflict. The first one deals enough damage to reduce health to {{hp|1}}, and the second one kills the player. If the player uses a modified item to reduce health, sometimes the death screen appears. After clicking respawn, the player would shake in the death position and this can be fixed by ceasing to use the modified item.<br />
<br />
If a player is [[Minecraft:riding]] a mob, the health of that mob is shown in place of{{only|je}} or on top of{{only|be}} the hunger bar, using {{healthbar|2|mob=1}} as the texture for hearts.<br />
<br />
=== Hearts ===<br />
[[File:Healthbar.png|thumb|class=pixel-image|The healthbar on Survival and Adventure.]]<br />
[[File:Healthbar Hardcore.png|thumb|class=pixel-image|The healthbar on Hardcore.]]<br />
[[File:Shaking hearts.gif|thumb|class=pixel-image|Shaking hearts when the player is at {{hp|4}} or less.]]<br />
<br />
'''Hearts''' make up the health bar for the player in the [[Minecraft:Survival]], [[Minecraft:Hardcore]] (different texture), and [[Minecraft:Adventure]] modes.<br />
<br />
The player's hearts have a different texture depending on the various condition. Also, all hearts have different textures in [[Minecraft:Hardcore]] mode.<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

* Hearts take the highest applicable texture in this list; poison overrides wither, which overrides absorption, which overrides freezing.<br />
* Only hearts given by the [[Minecraft:Absorption]] effect will be absorption hearts.<br />
* For all of the other conditions, the entire health bar (including absorption hearts, except freezing which does not change absorption hearts) will change texture.<br />
