Configurable Hunger

by KeeningDawn

Configurable Hunger separates the hunger system from the world difficulty, so a server can set how hunger behaves on any difficulty level.

What it does

Normally the hunger rules follow the world difficulty. This mod lets a server owner choose hunger behavior on its own, which covers turning hunger off entirely, enabling it on Peaceful, or setting how harshly eating and starvation are penalized. A starvation setting can, for example, drop a player down by half a heart on Normal difficulty, while Peaceful keeps its regeneration unchanged.

The settings are stored in a configuration file, and a default set comes with the mod. Only the server needs it installed, so players join without any change on their side. Configurable Hunger is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is published for Fabric on Minecraft 1.20 – 26.2, with files for 26.2 as the latest build.

The mod is a server-side only change: clients need nothing extra, and it works with the vanilla hunger bar in every case. Builds exist for eight release versions, 1.20 – 1.20.6 and 26.2.

Key features

  1. Hunger decoupled from difficulty

    Hunger rules are set separately from the world difficulty, so a Peaceful world can still use a hunger system.

  2. Hunger off on any difficulty

    Hunger can be turned off completely on any difficulty without changing the rest of the game.

  3. Adjustable eating penalties

    The server sets how hard a player is punished for eating, so food can be made to matter more or less.

  4. Starvation tuning

    Starvation damage can be set on any difficulty, such as losing half a heart on Normal.

  5. Peaceful regeneration kept

    Peaceful's buffed health regeneration can stay in place or be turned off, so a more balanced regeneration is possible.

What the author says

Take control of the hunger mechanic and how it affects you! This mod effectively decouples the "world difficulty" from hunger, turning it into a sort of "hunger difficulty." This mod is basically a "choose your own difficulty" for all things hunger.
