Minecraft Earth:Health

The health gauge $$ appears as a horizontal bar attached to the player's avatar in the upper left of the display.

Decreasing health
The health gauge decreases (shrinks toward the left) when the player takes damage. Damage can be inflicted on the player only during adventures.

The player can receive damage multiple ways:
 * Mob attacks
 * Burning (such as when walking into lava)

If the health gauge decreases to zero, the player dies and the adventure ends. Upon death, the player loses any items collected during the adventure, as well as any items that were in the hotbar prior to the adventure.

Restoring health
The player can restore health by eating food during an adventure. Cooked food provides greater restorative benefit than uncooked food.

Food for restoring health cannot be cooked during an adventure, unless an animal that provides meat when killed dies in fire, and drops cooked meat. Otherwise, smelting food to cook it must be done outside of adventures.
