No Distractions
by Patrolin
No Distractions removes several vanilla systems that pull attention away from building, including villages with free houses, the night skip and hunger pressure.
What it does
The mod removes villages' free houses and the food trading that goes with them, so a world keeps its structures without handing out shelter. It also changes the night: skipping the night by sleeping is removed, hostile mobs no longer pester players who are trying to sleep, and players can rejoin a multiplayer server after a 5 second delay. Vanilla phantom spawns are disabled.
Respawns follow a changed rule set. A player starts with full health, sprinting is disabled, and hunger begins at 10 out of 20 with some saturation. Hunger itself is reworked. Optionally, AppleSkin can be installed next to the mod to hide exhaustion and show saturation. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files covering 1.20 – 26.2 and released under the MIT License as open source.
