For the Health Boost in Minecraft Earth, see Boost.
Health Boost is a completely unused status effect that increases a player's (or mob's) potential health.
Effect
Identical to Absorption, except added hearts can be healed. Added hearts initially appear as damaged until healed. Negative levels reduce base health, however the entity's actual health is not decreased to the new maximum until damaged or healed. It increases your max health by 4 health points *level
Immune mobs
Boss mobs are unaffected.
Notes
Actual health may be above the base value after the effect ends and are not capped, unless the entity is healed. Extra hearts of a mounted mob can be seen while riding it.
