Hunger Overhaul Reborn
by NetroAki
Hunger Overhaul Reborn changes how food, hunger and crop growth work in survival play, and it requires Architectury API on every loader.
What it does
Hunger drains passively over time, and foods are rebalanced with the Well Fed and Hungry status effects, so eating timing and food choice matter more. Container foods such as bowl dishes, honey bottles and milk buckets stack, with stack sizes set in the config. The mod is a from-scratch re-implementation with original code, inspired by the original Hunger Overhaul line of work and carried on by other maintainers, and it has no affiliation with the original creators.
Crop growth speed scales with world difficulty, with settings at 100%, 67%, 50% and 34% of vanilla speed. Serene Seasons is an optional dependency for players who want seasonal growth alongside it. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Both the server and every player need the mod, since the environment is client and server.
Key features
Passive hunger drain
Hunger decreases over time without any action from the player, so food stays part of ordinary play.
Well Fed and Hungry effects
Foods apply Well Fed or Hungry status effects, which change how each meal is valued.
Stackable container foods
Bowl foods, honey bottles and milk buckets stack, with stack sizes adjustable in the configuration.
Difficulty-based crop growth
Crops grow at a rate tied to world difficulty, selectable at 100%, 67%, 50% or 34% of vanilla speed.
