Hunger Strike
by Texelsaur
Hunger Strike changes how hunger works on Forge and NeoForge, letting a server or a single player restore pre-hunger health mechanics.
What it does
The mod lowers the demands of the hunger system so that players are not forced to keep feeding themselves during a survival world. Its server-side settings are configured per player, which suits SMP servers where one group wants the older rules and another does not. Eating food restores health directly: a cookie restores half a heart and a cooked porkchop restores 2 hearts, so food value translates straight into healing.
Several hunger rules change under the mod. The hunger bar is capped at half its capacity, sprinting is disabled once the hunger bar drops below the sprint threshold while a player has the hunger effect, and health regeneration is turned off. A player with the regeneration effect sees the hunger bar max out instead. The behavior is controlled by a single config file, hungerstrike.cfg, created when the mod first runs.
Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is released under the MIT License and is open source; the source code and an issue tracker are public. The latest file is 1.21-9.0.0 for 1.21.1, published 2024-09-08 on the beta channel.
Key features
Restored health mechanics
Brings back pre-hunger health rules, so food restores health directly instead of only filling the hunger bar.
Capped hunger bar
The hunger bar is fixed at half its capacity, and health regeneration stops while hunger is low.
Per-player config modes
The config accepts NONE, LIST or ALL, with LIST as the default, and LIST enables the mod only for players added with the hungerstrike command.
In-game configuration
Settings can be changed in-game with commands or by editing hungerstrike.cfg directly.

What the author says
The purpose of this mod is to dial back the hunger system for players that wish to play in a Survival world without having to constantly feed themselves. The mod is designed to be configurable on a per-player basis for SMP servers, so not all players need to be forced one way or the other. This will tilt balance, but…
