Baubley Heart Canisters guide for FTB Skies 2: Aero 1.0.3

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Baubley Heart Canisters brings back the old Tinkers' Construct heart canisters, reimagined as Curios-slot items. The pack includes version 1.21.1-1.4.1 of the mod, and it has been in the pack since 2.25 or earlier.^[1][2]

What it does

You collect heart canisters in four tiers. Red hearts drop from hostile mobs, yellow hearts from boss mobs such as the Wither, green hearts from the Ender Dragon, and blue hearts from Wardens. Each tier can also be crafted from the previous tiers, so check JEI for the exact recipes.^[1]

The Heart Amulet holds all of your heart canisters in a single slot. The Soul Heart Amulet works the same way but also takes Soul Heart Canisters. These act like Totems of Undying: they heal you back to max health, then revert to Blue Heart Canisters once used.^[1]

Extras worth knowing

• Vitality Blade: a sword that gains 2 attack damage for each Heart Canister. It is made with the Soul Heart Crystal, which is also used for Soul Amulets.^[1]
• Relic Apple: a crafting item you can also eat, giving Haste II, Strength II and Resistance II for one minute.^[1]
• Wither Bone: a crafting item that drops from Wither Skeletons.^[1]
• Wardens now drop Echo Shards, which makes them renewable.^[1]

Who it's for

This mod is for anyone who wants more max health, and a bigger damage boost from the Vitality Blade, as a reward for hunting mobs and bosses. It requires Curios to run. The amulet's slot type, the drops and the starting health are all configurable.^[1]

Unverified We found no quests in this pack involving the mod, and it isn't on the ATM Star path. Whether the pack changes any of its drops, recipes or config values is unconfirmed.

Same as in the FTB Skies 2: Aero 1.10.0 guide

Baubley Heart Canisters has no machines, multiblocks, power or fluids in the sources. It is a gear and progression system: you collect hearts from mobs, craft them into canisters, and wear them in a Curios slot to gain health. The mod requires Curios to work.^[1]

Where hearts come from

Each heart colour has its own source. Red hearts drop from hostile mobs, yellow from boss mobs such as the Wither, green from the Ender Dragon, and blue from Wardens. The mod says all of these drops are configurable. You can also craft each tier from the previous tiers.^[1]

Wither Bones drop from Wither Skeletons, and in this pack the chance is set by General.boneDropRate, which is 0.15. The mod default is 0.18, so the pack lowered it. The Warden also drops Echo Shards, which makes them renewable. General.echoShardDropRate is 0.5, the same as the mod default.^[1][3]

You can also craft Wither Bones directly, which is handy if the drop rate lets you down.^[4]

Canisters and tiers

Everything starts with the Canister, and the pack changes its recipe from the mod's. From there the canisters climb in order: Red Heart Canister, then Yellow Heart Canister, then Green Heart Canister, then Blue Heart Canister. Each one is crafted using the previous canister plus the matching heart.^[4]

Melted hearts

Smelting a Miniature Blue Heart gives a Melted Blue Heart, and smelting a Miniature Green Heart gives a Melted Green Heart. A Melted Blue Heart can be crafted into 9 Melted Green Hearts, and a Melted Yellow Heart into 9 Melted Red Hearts. Melted hearts turn back into miniature hearts with another heart of any type, which gives you a way to move between tiers.^[4]

The Soul Amulet works like the Heart Amulet but can also hold a Soul Heart Canister. That canister acts like a Totem of Undying: it heals you back to max health, and once consumed it reverts to a Blue Heart Canister. You get a message saying the Soul Heart has been consumed. In this pack General.soulHeartReturnChance is 1, the same as the mod default.^[1][3][5]

Health patches

Each colour has a health patch with a heal amount and a cooldown. Heal amounts are in half-hearts, so 2 is one full heart, and cooldowns are in seconds. This pack uses the mod's default values for all four patches.^[3]

• Red: heals 2, cooldown 5 ([[config:config/bhc-startup.toml#Heart Patches.redPatchHealAmount]], [[config:config/bhc-startup.toml#Heart Patches.redPatchCooldown]]).^[3]
• Yellow: heals 6, cooldown 10 ([[config:config/bhc-startup.toml#Heart Patches.yellowPatchHealAmount]], [[config:config/bhc-startup.toml#Heart Patches.yellowPatchCooldown]]).^[3]
• Green: heals 10, cooldown 20 ([[config:config/bhc-startup.toml#Heart Patches.greenPatchHealAmount]], [[config:config/bhc-startup.toml#Heart Patches.greenPatchCooldown]]).^[3]
• Blue: heals 20, cooldown 30 ([[config:config/bhc-startup.toml#Heart Patches.bluePatchHealAmount]], [[config:config/bhc-startup.toml#Heart Patches.bluePatchCooldown]]).^[3]

Heartpulse belts

The belts are upgraded at a smithing table in a chain. The Green Heartpulse Belt is made from the Yellow Heartpulse Belt plus a Green and a Yellow Heart Canister. The Blue Heartpulse Belt is made from the Green belt plus a Blue and a Green Heart Canister.^[4]

Unverified What the Heartpulse Belts actually do once worn is not confirmed in the available sources.

Starting health and trades

The pack ships with Server.allowStartingHealthTweaks set to false and Server.startingHealth at 20. The mod says any starting health value of 0 or below is reset to the default.^[1][6]

There is also a shortcut. One entry in the pack's after_diamond trade script swaps a Miniature Red Heart for a Blue Heart Canister, at a weight of 1.^[7]

Same as in the FTB Skies 2: Aero 1.10.0 guide

Good news: Baubley Heart Canisters is almost entirely at its mod defaults in this pack. Only one option was changed, so you won't have to relearn much if you've used the mod elsewhere.^[3][6]

The one value the pack changed

General.boneDropRate controls how often Wither Skeletons drop wither bones, a crafting item. This pack sets it to 0.15, down from the mod default of 0.18. The allowed range is 0.0 to 1.0, so bones are a bit rarer here than in the base mod.^[1][3]

General drops and stacking

• General.echoShardDropRate is 0.5 (the mod default). It sets how often the Warden drops echo shards.^[3]
• General.heartStackSize is 10 (the mod default, allowed range 0 to 99). It is the maximum stack size for heart canisters, and also the maximum number of full hearts you can get per heart canister type.^[3]
• General.soulHeartReturnChance is 1 (the mod default). It is the chance that a broken Soul Heart returns a Blue Heart Canister.^[3]

Heart patches

The heart patches use the mod defaults too. Cooldowns are in seconds, and heal amounts are in half-hearts, so a heal of 2 is one full heart.^[3]

• Red patch: heals 2 ([[config:config/bhc-startup.toml#Heart Patches.redPatchHealAmount]]) with a cooldown of 5 ([[config:config/bhc-startup.toml#Heart Patches.redPatchCooldown]]).^[3]
• Yellow patch: heals 6 ([[config:config/bhc-startup.toml#Heart Patches.yellowPatchHealAmount]]) with a cooldown of 10 ([[config:config/bhc-startup.toml#Heart Patches.yellowPatchCooldown]]).^[3]
• Green patch: heals 10 ([[config:config/bhc-startup.toml#Heart Patches.greenPatchHealAmount]]) with a cooldown of 20 ([[config:config/bhc-startup.toml#Heart Patches.greenPatchCooldown]]).^[3]
• Blue patch: heals 20 ([[config:config/bhc-startup.toml#Heart Patches.bluePatchHealAmount]]) with a cooldown of 30 ([[config:config/bhc-startup.toml#Heart Patches.bluePatchCooldown]]).^[3]

Starting health

The mod can change your starting health through its server config, but this pack has Server.allowStartingHealthTweaks set to false. Server.startingHealth is set to 20, which its own comment lists as the default.^[1][6]
