HungerShield is a lightweight survival mod: when you take damage, it automatically spends some of your Food Level to absorb part of the hit, then converts what it absorbed into instant healing. No new gear, no new keybinds, no gameplay overhaul — it simply makes being well-fed matter in combat. When things get messy, your hunger bar can take the edge off and help you avoid those frustrating “I got deleted” moments.
Features
- Auto-trigger on damage: converts hunger into damage absorption + healing
- Vanilla-friendly: no items, no keybinds, no extra mechanics to learn
- Toggle anytime: simple Mod Menu config (on/off)
- Consistent behavior: fractional cost carries over between hits
- Lightweight & focused: does one thing, does it cleanly
