Saturation Regen
Eat healthy → get healed. Saturation always triggers healing — full hunger bar not required. Free Minecraft Java mod for 1.21.1.
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Saturation Regen
Let saturation trigger healing — full hunger bar not required.
Vanilla often makes saturation feel underused for healing. You can eat great food, have saturation available, but you still won't heal because Vanilla wants you to be "full" first.
Saturation Regen keeps vanilla healing behavior and vanilla saturation drain, but lets natural regen start sooner — so topping off every drumstick isn’t required.
⚙️ What It Does

- Allows natural regeneration when:
- Saturation > 0
- and Hunger is above 6 points (3 drumsticks) -- this is configurable
- Uses vanilla timing and exhaustion — no extra healing loops
- Respects the
naturalRegenerationgamerule - Server-side Fabric — works automatically with connected vanilla clients
🧠 Vanilla-Plus Design
This mod does not:
- Add new healing mechanics
- Override potion or effect-based healing
- Change regen speed
It only adjusts when vanilla regen is allowed to start, keeping saturation meaningful in real gameplay.
