Life Fruit



The Life Fruit is a Hardmode plant found in the Underground Jungle which permanently increases the player's maximum health by 5, turning one of the player's life hearts golden. This goes beyond the 400 health cap of the Life Crystals, but to no more than 500 health, at which point every life heart is golden.

A total of 20 Life Fruits is needed to reach 500 maximum health. They can only be used once a player has reached the 400 health cap from Life Crystals.

Trivia

 * The plants on which the fruit grows have three different sprites they can appear as, unlike the single type of sprite that Life Crystals have.
 * The Life Fruit looks and functions much like the Piece of Heart from the Legend of Zelda series, which gives an extra Heart of Life for every 4th collected by Link, the protagonist of the series, just as how the player gets one fourth the amount of health Life Crystal for each Life Fruit they get.
 * Life Fruit cannot be consumed before the player reaches 400 life points.
 * The Life fruit can also be a reference to the boktai games where you collect 4 fruits to increase you life
