HungerReminder
by DeusVoult
HungerReminder warns a player when the hunger bar is low, so an empty food bar does not go unnoticed during long stretches of play.
What it does
The mod watches the hunger bar and shows reminders on the client when food is running low. Notifications come in four kinds: a text line above the hotbar, an animated panel in the screen's center, a growling stomach sound, or any mix of these. Players can choose which types to keep, and the reminder intervals and thresholds can be adjusted in the settings.
A configurable Panic Button option changes the reminder based on the player's remaining health, and it is switched on by default. The author describes the mod as relatively accurate about saturation, which it displays on the hunger bar in the same manner as AppleSkin. Because the mod runs client-side, saturation is simulated on the client, while exhaustion is usually calculated on the server and may occasionally fall out of sync.
The mod runs on NeoForge and is released for Minecraft 1.21.5 – 1.21.11, with 1.21.11 as the latest file, dated 2026-09-16. Only the client needs it, so players join servers without installing it. The code is not open source, and it is distributed under All rights reserved. An optional music licence location is included, and bugs or suggestions go to the issue tracker linked from the project page.
Key features
Four notification types
Four alerts are offered, namely a line of text above the hotbar, a moving display at mid-screen, a stomach growl, and a Panic Button setting that triggers based on remaining health.
Panic Button
A setting that escalates the reminder as the remaining health drops, enabled by default.
Saturation display
Saturation is added to the hunger bar in the same style as AppleSkin, and is simulated on the client.
Configurable reminders
Reminder timing and behavior can be tuned to the player's needs, so the mod can be kept quiet or made prominent.
