Healthy Food
by TheRedBrain
Healthy Food changes eating on Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1 by replacing instant healing with a fullness system that limits how much food a player can eat in a short span.
What it does
Food no longer heals directly on consumption. Each food item adds fullness, and a maximum fullness value caps how much can be eaten before the player needs to wait. Fullness decreases over time, so the limit recovers as the player goes on. Eating food still fills the hunger bar and gives saturation, and the food restores at least half a heart of health tied to the previous saturation level.
The cap is read from an entity attribute with a default of 3, and food items add 1 fullness by default. Server owners can set exceptions for particular items through the server config. Food from other mods is intended to work without extra setup.
Healthy Food is published for Fabric only, with files for 1.20.1, and it requires Fabric API and Fzzy Config. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Fullness limit
Eating adds fullness, and a player who reaches the maximum cannot eat more until fullness drops back over time.
Saturation healing
Healing depends on the saturation from the previous food, giving at least half a heart per meal.
Server-configurable food values
Items can be given different fullness amounts through the server config instead of the default of 1.
Adjustable maximum
The maximum fullness is an entity attribute, so its limit can be changed without altering food items.
