Alpha Health System
by Ponosik
Alpha Health System replaces the hunger bar with instant hearts, so food restores health directly, as in the older alpha versions of the game.
What it does
The mod brings back the alpha-style health system, in which eating food gives back hearts right away instead of filling a hunger bar first. The hunger bar is removed, and only food heals the player. Pork, cooked pork, mushroom stew and bread are among the foods that restore health. Cows, sheep, chickens and zombies also stop affecting hunger as they did before. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved.

Hunger bar removed
The hunger bar no longer appears, and food is the only source of healing.
Familiar food values
