Classic Food

by Mrbysco

With Classic Food, eating restores health right away, as in older Minecraft versions, instead of through the saturation system.

What it does

The mod reimplements the old food health system, in which each food item directly heals the player. Config options can make food items stackable and set whether they are eaten instantly. Classic Food requires Fabric API on Fabric and Forge Config API Port on Forge and NeoForge. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Builds cover 1.16.5 – 26.2, with Fabric, Forge and NeoForge files, and the code is under the MIT License, so it is open source.

Key features

  1. Direct food healing

    Each food item restores health when eaten, replacing the saturation-based healing of current versions.

  2. Stackable food

    A configuration option makes food items stack in inventory slots.

  3. Instant eating

    Another option lets food be consumed instantly rather than over several seconds.
