Life Fruit



Life Fruits are a Hardmode type of plant that grows on Jungle Grass in the Underground Jungle. Once harvested and used, a Life Fruit permanently increases the player's health capacity by 5, turning one of the hearts in the player's health meter golden.

Life Fruits can only be used once a player has reached the 400 health cap from Life Crystals. On the Desktop version, Life Fruits will only grow after a Mechanical Boss has been defeated. On the Console and Mobile versions, Life Fruits can be found prior to defeating a Mechanical Boss, just in much smaller numbers; defeating a Mechanical Boss increases the amount that can grow.

A total of 20 Life Fruits are required to reach the maximum of 500 health capacity, at which point all of a player's hearts will be golden.

Achievement
Get a Life is the achievement you earn for consuming your first Life Fruit.
