Hunger's Delight

Hunger's Delight rebalances the hunger system for players who also use food mods such as Farmer's Delight. Passive hunger loss can be turned on or off in the configuration file, and the mod adds small exhaustion from walking and sneaking, similar to the cost of sprinting. Holding up a shield slowly drains energy and therefore hunger over time. Sleeping has a cost too: players wake up hungry, and a well-rested character with a full belly can gain a short regeneration effect. Eating raw food brings a brief hunger effect.

The mod is meant for a play style where food matters more than it does in vanilla, and it can be used in Peaceful mode without losing the benefit of eating. Peaceful players who prefer the regular Peaceful rules can disable the changes in the configuration file. Hunger's Delight overrides the hunger mechanics that ActionHunger supplants, so the two cannot run together, and the mod is not compatible with any mod that touches HungerManager. When that conflict applies, the hunger changes cannot be disabled through the Hunger's Delight config file.
