Overview
Please note: If you upgrade this datapack from 1.19 or below to 1.20,
the textures from the old items don't work anymore. This is happening because
the CustomModelData of all items have changed, making my datapacks more
compatible with datapacks from other creators.
Survival Upgrades is a Datapack for Minecraft 1.17 to 1.21. It adds new items to
the game, called Survival Upgrades. These make the game easier or harder by making
you move slower or faster, changing your maximum HP, raising your attack damage and
more. You can get Upgrades by doing things like breaking tools, running kilometers or
killing mobs.
Watch out! Survival Upgrades in 1.17 has a negative consequence
after updating to 1.18 or higher. Because 1.17 makes use from the dungeon and stronghold
loot table, it doesn't change the loot for 1.18. That makes you unable to find the
Otherside Music Disc with this Datapack installed from 1.17.
If you combine Survival Upgrades with Player Mobs in 1.17
or 1.18, the Fleru Boss Player Mob will drop a +1 HP Survival Upgrade.

+1 Experience gives you more experience. For example, an experience orb with a value of 1 will be raised to 2. With +4 Experience, an experience orb with a value of 5 will be raised to 13. To get a +1 Experience Survival Upgrade, you have to kill mobs or bosses. Just like with +1 Attack Damage, it has a 0.5% chance of dropping one for normal mobs, while a Boss has a 20% chance of dropping one.

Trivia
An idea was that there would be a 50% chance that a negative Survival Upgrade would be used automatically when it entered your inventory. This was eventually scrapped because it would be to hard to implement.
Until 1.18, Fleru from the Player Mobs Datapack would drop a +1 HP Survival Upgrade upon death. This feature was added before Survival Upgrades existed, so there was no way to get this upgrade in Minecraft 1.16.
This is the first Datapack to come out after 1.16.
