Easy Diet
by Frenk02
Easy Diet tracks what players eat by nutrition category, so balanced eating matters more than filling the hunger bar on NeoForge 1.21.1.
What it does
Food items are sorted into nutritional groups such as proteins, vegetables, fruits, grains and dairy. Each time a player eats, the nutrition value of that food is added to the matching category. Diet values decay over time, which imitates metabolism, so a category has to be refilled to stay high.
Maintaining a varied diet across categories gives benefits, while neglecting certain groups brings penalties. Configurable diet profiles set how much nutrition each food provides. Server administrators can adjust food categories and diet profiles by editing JSON files placed in the data/tharidia easydiet/diet folder.
Diet data is synchronized between server and client so the display stays accurate, and calculations run in the background with client-side caching. The mod is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, with 0.1.2-alpha as the latest file. It is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source; the source code and issue tracker are public. Both the server and every player need it.
Key features
Nutrition tracking
Each category keeps its own diet value, which decays over time to simulate metabolism.
Balanced diet rewards
Variety earns rewards, and eating imbalanced food across categories triggers penalties.
Diet profiles
Each food can belong to one or several categories, and the profiles set how much nutrition a food gives.
Data-driven configuration
Food categories and diet profiles are edited as JSON files, giving server administrators full control.

Use cases
Roleplay servers
Medieval roleplay servers such as Tharidia can use the diet system as one of several gameplay mechanics.
Who it’s for: Server owners running survival or roleplay worlds who want food to affect players beyond hunger, and players who enjoy tracking nutrition. Each side needs the mod, so it suits servers where every player installs it.
