pona moku
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
Health and absorption food values
Instead of the usual hunger points, each food restores health and absorption in proportion to how nourishing it is.
Time-based eating
Each food takes a different time to eat, scaled by the health and absorption it gives.
Damage interrupts eating
Taking meaningful damage stops a meal, so eating mid-fight has a cost and makes quick snacks useful.
Snacks for retreat
Quick foods grant a large absorption shield, giving players a short window to pull back from a fight.
