Food Overhaul

Instead of only filling the hunger bar and granting saturation, each food item applies a status effect when consumed. Effects can grant attribute modifiers such as more health, more stamina or resistance to frost, so players choose which food suits the situation. The mod supports two item types, consumables and potions, and reads the minecraft:consumable and minecraft:potion contents data components to decide how each one behaves. Food blocks interacted with also grant their status effect, but only when the player does not already have it.

A player can keep only a limited number of food status effects active at once. The ceiling on simultaneous food effects is read from the foodoverhaul:max_food_effects entity attribute, whose baseline comes from the server configuration file. When the limit is reached, no further food can be eaten until an effect runs out. A player who still has an effect can refresh it before it ends, and a food effect that has run out can be triggered again by consuming its item. The exact threshold is also configurable on the server.
