Life Fruit

The Life Fruit permanently increases the player's maximum health by 5, turning one of the players life hearts gold. This can go beyond the 400 health cap of the Life Crystals, but can be increased to no more than 500. Life Fruit are gathered in the Jungle. The Life Fruit, similar to Chlorophyte Ore, has a chance to grow in the Underground Jungle, making it possible to farm an infinite amount of life fruit in the same world.

When the player eats a Life Fruit, one of the hearts seen in the top-right of the screen turns gold - a maximum of 20 hearts can be turned gold, which is a 100 life increase. It is only found after hardmode has been activated.
