freezing hearts affect your max health not your actual health

instead of freezing being just another effect that deals damage we can make it more unique by having the freezing hearts slowly rise from the left of the health bar. when all hearts that aren't frozen are left the player dies but if the player steps out of the snow the hearts slowly thaw out revealing the normal red hearts.

this is a completely unique mechanic in minecraft that could make for some interesting experience up on the mountain or even pvp as i imagine a block that acts as water can be place without floating, can slow down enemies and lowers their max health ignoring armour will be a great tool in pvp and pve.
