Overhauled Stamina
by nick_ninj
Overhauled Stamina replaces the usual hunger bar with a dedicated stamina bar that governs most of the player's actions across the whole game.
What it does
The stamina bar is drawn after a system inspired by Hytale, and it takes over the role hunger plays in vanilla survival. Natural health regeneration is removed, and health is restored through food and other effects instead. Food is sorted into three groups, each with a different use, so eating becomes a choice about what the bar needs at that moment.
Combat is adapted to the new bar. Hitting rapidly and repeatedly deals much less damage once stamina runs low, which discourages spam clicking. Drawing a bow and holding a shield both drain stamina continuously, so timing matters more than holding the input. Blocking an attack returns a portion of the stamina spent on it, and that regeneration mechanic rewards well-timed defense.
Bundles gain extra function in this mod. Items can be used straight from a bundle, and the bundle is not limited to food, placing blocks or throwing ender pearls, so it also helps keep the inventory tidy. Overhauled Stamina requires Architectury API, and Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional for in-game configuration. It runs on client and server and is released under the Apache License 2.0, but it is not open source. Files exist for Fabric and NeoForge, for 1.21.1 only.
