Daily Meal

Food saturation is treated as a resource to be spent. Uncooked food restores the least saturation, single-ingredient stackable cooked food restores a moderate amount, and non-stackable dishes made from several ingredients restore the most, though they take longer to eat. Beetroot Soup is the example given, since it needs multiple ingredients to craft and therefore counts as non-stackable.

Sleeping is where the saturation is cashed in. Sleeping immediately heals the player back to full, and a player who sleeps with a full hunger bar gains Regeneration I. The configured sleep food cost, which defaults to 12 half-pips, is consumed at that point. Saturation spent this way can also be exchanged for a Health Boost whose potency rises up to +10 hearts, and the boost lasts for a set number of in-game days, three by default. Each part of this can be turned off or changed in the configuration, including the natural regeneration setting and the day count.

The mod is built around single-player balance. In multiplayer, a player who does not take part in skipping the night can wake up badly behind, and other mods let players lie down during the day to avoid that. Daily Meal does not add such a fix. Server owners who need a clear setup should check the default options before adopting it. The client-side display mod AppleSkin can be installed to show the rebalanced food values.
