Linked life datapack by CrappyToast

In the past I have made the third, last & double life datapack. This datapack includes an option coming from double life where you can sync hearts from two players. I got a suggestion to make this feature into a dedicated datapack, and so here it is!

For the future:
I will be bringing out new versions when it's needed. If you have a bug report that needs fixing ASAP please contact me on Discord.

Known issues:
- Sometimes the system does not recognize that you take damage and just resets you to your old health in double life. (This seems to be an issue that is made by Minecraft, if I get a lot of reports of this breaking the game I will try to fix it again, although I cannot guarentee this bug being removed any time soon)

How to install

1. Download the datapack .zip folder from this website.

2. Create a Minecraft world, either singleplayer or multiplayer.

3. Navigate to /.minecraft/saves/<your world>/datapacks/

4. Move the datapack zip into the 'datapacks' folder, no need to unzip.

5. In Minecraft, enter the '/reload' command and press enter.

6. When the datapacks load function is called you will see a bunch of text pop up with the title of your datapack, this means that you have successfully finished the install.

How to get linked to another player

To get linked to another player just enter the command /function linkedlife:soullink


After typing this command you will be linked with the nearest player. You will also both be killed so make sure not to carry around anything or just enter this command when just starting out.

Keep in mind to stay close to the player you want to link with, as you will only link with the nearest player 5 blocks close to you, if you did not get linked to anyone you will get a message saying that you did not link with anyone.

Compatibility

This datapack is designed for 1.19, I cannot guarentee the datapack working on older versions, but most of the times it will.
