Overview
The purpose of this mod is to dial back the hunger system for players that wish to play in a Survival world without having to constantly feed themselves. The mod is designed to be configurable on a per-player basis for SMP servers, so not all players need to be forced one way or the other. This will tilt balance, but whether that is acceptable is up to you.
The mod makes the following functional changes for affected players:
- The hunger bar is fixed at half capacity. This allows sprinting and disables health regen.
- If the player is afflicted with the "hunger" effect, their hunger bar will drop below the sprint threshold.
- If the player is afflicted with the "regeneration" effect, their hunger bar will max out.
- Eating food will instantly restore health at half the food value of a given food item. E.g., a cookie will restore a half heart. A cooked porkchop will restore 2 hearts.
This version fixes major issues that have been not been fixed in the upstream 1.12.2 release:
- Players could not eat while under regeneration
- Cakes could not heal players
