Resolution & compatibility

At 16x it matches vanilla's native resolution, so it costs essentially no extra VRAM and runs anywhere Minecraft runs. Hardcore Hearts retextures cursed, gui, utility, and works alongside other packs — Minecraft applies them top-down, so put Hardcore Hearts above any pack you want it to override. It also stacks cleanly with shader packs, since resource packs change textures while shaders change lighting.
