Nutritional Balance

Eating a food gives nutritional units, which are split among nutrients according to what the food provides. Keeping each nutrient inside its target area earns buffs, while letting levels cross the red boundaries brings malnourishment or engorgement debuffs. The aim is to push players toward foods that supply a range of nutrients instead of eating one item repeatedly, and the balance is meant to be kept without becoming a burden on day-to-day play.

Its out-of-the-box support covers foods from many other mods, including Pam's HarvestCraft, Farmer's Delight, Croptopia, Alex's Mobs and Create. Foods from vanilla ingredients in mods such as Tea and Twilight are also covered. Nutrient tags are read from item tags, and the mod traverses recipes so only raw ingredients need tagging. Buffs and debuffs are set through the server config, and the mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files cover 26.3, 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1 and 1.21.1.
