Peaceful Hunger | UPDATED
With Peaceful Hunger installed, hunger and health regeneration still work on the Peaceful difficulty setting, so food matters even when hostile mobs are absent.
What it does
The mod changes how the game applies the difficulty setting to hunger and health regeneration. Starvation effects stay active on Peaceful, where vanilla turns them off. Changes are made by Mixin redirects on the tick method of FoodData and the aiStep method of Player.
Key features
Hunger on Peaceful
Food level drops over time on Peaceful, so players must still eat to stay healthy.
Regeneration rules kept
Health regeneration depends on food level as it would on other difficulties.
Mixin-based changes
Behavior is altered through Mixin redirects, not by replacing the game's difficulty settings.
