Disabled Natural Regeneration
by Luc1fer1o
Disabled Natural Regeneration changes how players heal on a NeoForge server, replacing food-based regeneration with recovery from lit campfires and sleep.
What it does
On a server running the mod, the vanilla behavior of healing over time from a full hunger bar is switched off, so a full food bar no longer restores health by itself. Healing is moved to configurable sources: standing near a lit or soul campfire restores health at a set pulse, and finishing a full night of sleep restores the player to full health.
Sleep healing only applies after the server completes a real sleep cycle, which prevents players from getting the benefit by lying down in a bed and leaving it. Campfire healing requires a full hunger bar by default. The heal amount, the radius of 5 blocks and the pulse rate are all gameplay values that server owners can adjust in the common config.
Disabled Natural Regeneration is a server-side gameplay mod for NeoForge 1.21.1 and is published only for that version. Because it runs on the server alone, players join without installing it. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Campfire recovery
Players standing near a lit or soul campfire regain health at a configurable rate while the hunger requirement is met.
Sleep-based full heal
Completing a night's sleep restores full health, and this sleep healing can be turned off in the config.
Vanilla regeneration removed
Automatic health regeneration from a full food bar is disabled, so healing comes only from the configured sources.
Bed-cancel protection
Healing from sleep applies only when the night skip finishes, so leaving the bed early gives no restore.
Configurable values
Radius, heal amount, pulse rate and the sleep option are all set in the common config file.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners running NeoForge 1.21.1 who want healing tied to campfires and sleep. Only the server needs the mod.
How it compares
Hungerbane is a NeoForge option for 1.21.1 – 1.21.6 that requires both the client and the server, and it is not open source. Natural Healing Control covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, is server required with an optional client and is open source under the MIT License. Disabled Natural Regeneration works only on the server for 1.21.1 and is not open source, so players need nothing installed.

What the author says
Disabled Natural Regeneration removes Minecraft's automatic food-based health regeneration and replaces it with slower, configurable recovery sources that make healing feel more intentional. Sleeping can restore the player to full health, but only after sleep is fully completed and the night skip finishes. The option…
