Loss of Hearts

Alright sooooo… basically this idea reaches into Soul Sand, or in this case, Soul Sand reaches for you. So, I don’t know much about the Minecraft lore or anything, but I’m assuming that souls of the “ancient builders,” as the creature known as MatPat the lore monster calls them, are trapped inside of the sand-like substance, so my idea is for it to hurt the player instead of just slowing them down, but it actually takes away the hearts of the player, and in order to regain the heart(s) is to eat a golden food, like an Apple or a Carrot. The animation for the hearts getting “deleted” would be the Soul Speed animation, but a very dark red or maroon in place of blue. If you die from it, I think the death message should be “(username) was drowned in Soul Sand” or something that somewhat references quicksand. I like this idea, and I hope that the people at Mojang do, too. PS hot take: the portal structure in the Ancient City should not be a portal to another dimension, but instead just spawns a boss that will drop a rare item.
