No Hunger
by Insane96
No Hunger removes the hunger bar and replaces it with a healing system tied to food, for players who want eating to restore health directly.
What it does
Eating restores health directly, and the hunger bar is taken out of play. Better foods such as meat heal over time, while snacks heal instantly. The approach follows the classic early beta food model, with a different healing mechanic. The mod requires InsaneLib, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Builds exist for Forge and NeoForge across the 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 range, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Hunger bar removed
The hunger bar no longer drains, so food is used for healing rather than for keeping a hunger meter full.
Timed and instant healing
Better foods restore health over a period, while snacks restore it at once.
Modpack permissions
Options can be set through modpack permissions, which suits server owners who maintain a shared pack.

What the author says
No Hunger removes the hunger bar adding a new healing mechanic: better foods heal overtime and "snacks" heal instantly. Remove hunger and add back heal from eating, similar to Beta 1.7.3, but with a different mechanic. Better foods (as meat) heal over time, whilst, instead, snacks heal instantly.
