Fragile Feast
by tima4ka1
Fragile Feast swaps the usual hunger meter for a food-based healing system, so eating while injured restores health gradually.
What it does
Hunger, starvation and automatic health regeneration are removed, including on Peaceful difficulty. Food instead returns health over time, and the hearts still waiting to return appear semi-transparent until they turn normal. Health already returned stays, and eating again continues the healing. Food from other mods is supported automatically through existing food properties.
Taking real damage cancels whatever recovery is still unfinished, and blocked shield attacks and fully absorbed damage do the same. Potions of Regeneration, golden apples, beacons and totems keep working as before, and sprinting remains available. The mod needs Fabric API and is published for Fabric and NeoForge; the file built for the chosen loader is the one to install, and on Fabric Fabric API goes beside it. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Food-based healing
Eating food while injured adds a recovery reserve that restores health gradually, and extra food extends that reserve.
Unfinished recovery display
Hearts still waiting to return are drawn semi-transparent, then become normal hearts as the recovery completes.
Interrupted recovery
Real damage, blocked shield attacks and fully absorbed damage cancel any recovery that has not finished yet.
Vanilla systems preserved
Effects, animations, sounds and statistics of food remain, and sprinting does not depend on hunger.

What the author says
Fragile Feast replaces Minecraft’s hunger system with a simple food-based healing mechanic. When you are injured, eating food adds health to a recovery reserve. Semi-transparent hearts show how much health is waiting to return, and gradually turn into normal hearts as you recover.
