Hunger Obliterator
by Stateus
With Hunger Obliterator on a server, the hunger bar is removed, and food restores health directly instead of filling hunger.
What it does
Hunger Obliterator is a small datapack that removes the hunger bar from play. Food heals health straight away when eaten, so players no longer track a separate food meter. Sprinting, sprinting duration and stamina are adjusted so that players can run for longer without the usual slowdown.
The mod is installed as a data pack on the server and runs there, so a server owner adds it once. Players need the mod only if they want it on their own side; the server can run it alone. Installation is for 26.2 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the latest build 1.0.1+mod for 26.2 published on 2026-08-04. It is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and its source code is public.
Hunger Obliterator is made to work alongside skill, capability and healing data packs. The author notes that the design is meant to avoid breaking such compatibility, and that saturation and hunger effects do nothing under this setup. A future update may turn the hunger effect into a heal lock that stops players from healing.
Key features
Hunger bar removed
The food bar no longer drains over time, so players do not have to manage a separate hunger value.
Food heals directly
Eating food restores health straight away, with the amount set by the food item itself.
Longer sprinting
Stamina and sprint duration are increased, so players can run for longer before the slowdown applies.
Custom food through functions
Simple mcfunction logic handles food effects, so server owners can adapt how each item behaves.

Hearty Meals is a client and server mod for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 1.20.1 – 26.3 and released as All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
