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 change of color to gold may be a reference to the phrase "Heart of gold"
 * 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.
 * Life Fruit cannot be consumed before the player reaches 400 life points.
