pona moku

by NalathniDragon

pona moku replaces Minecraft's hunger system with a food model where meals restore health through absorption, and the mod is published for Quilt on 1.20.1.

What it does

Vanilla hunger is removed. Each food gives health and absorption in proportion to its nutritional value, and a scaling factor can be changed in the config to adjust how strongly foods count. Eating takes a different amount of time depending on the health and absorption a food provides, so larger meals take longer to finish.

Taking meaningful damage interrupts eating, which encourages players to vary their food choices in combat and when sneaking to heal. Snacks restore less but are quick to eat, and they let a player retreat fast and gain a large absorption shield. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Quilt is the only loader with files, and the latest build covers 1.20.1 under the MIT License, with the source code and issue tracker public.

Key features

  1. Health and absorption food values

    Instead of the usual hunger points, each food restores health and absorption in proportion to how nourishing it is.

  2. Time-based eating

    Each food takes a different time to eat, scaled by the health and absorption it gives.

  3. Damage interrupts eating

    Taking meaningful damage stops a meal, so eating mid-fight has a cost and makes quick snacks useful.

  4. Snacks for retreat

    Quick foods grant a large absorption shield, giving players a short window to pull back from a fight.

Questions

Does pona moku need to be installed on the server?

Yes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

Can the food scaling be changed?

Yes. The scaling factor for nutritional value is configurable, which adjusts how strongly each food restores health and absorption.

Does pona moku work with other loaders?

Files are published for Quilt only, for 1.20.1, so the mod is not available for Fabric, Forge or NeoForge in this catalog.
