Additional Saturation
Additional Saturation changes how eating works by letting food keep the saturation a player would otherwise waste when hunger is already full.
What it does
Normally a food item restores hunger points and saturation, and any part that exceeds the hunger bar is lost. The mod adds an overflow store, so surplus saturation is kept instead of discarded. A steak that restores only one hunger point with the bar nearly full would otherwise waste most of its value, while here the remaining saturation carries forward.
The mod works with vanilla food items, with the exception of cake. Foods from other mods are only affected when they are listed in the edible food tag that the mod reads. Server owners who want certain modded items to count must add their identifiers to that tag in a datapack, using the file path given in the author notes, and the datapack folder name must match the mod ID.
Additional Saturation is published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Fabric API and Meal API are both required, because Fabric loader needs Fabric API and Meal API supplies the underlying food handling.
Key features
Overflow saturation storage
Saturation that would be lost at full hunger is kept and applied to later meals, rather than disappearing.
Vanilla food support
Standard food items gain the overflow behavior, with cake as the only vanilla food left out.
Edible tag for modded food
A tag file lists which items count as edible, so modded foods can be added through a datapack.

What the author says
Not a very large mod, all it does is give you extra room for saturation so you don't have to be at 9 hunger points and then eat an entire steak, just for it to only give you 1 other hunger point while 3/4 gets wasted without anything you can do about it. This mod works for every vanilla food item, except cake. This…
