RegenChoiceMod
by MalItlish
RegenChoiceMod lets each player on a Fabric server pick between natural health regeneration and a mode with no regeneration, once, when they first join a world.
What it does
On a player's first login to a world, a chat prompt appears offering two regeneration modes as clickable buttons. The player selects one, and the choice is stored per world, so the same player keeps it on that map. Chat buttons are the default path, and a command fallback is provided for cases where the buttons do not work.
The choice is permanent for regular players. Once a mode is selected, only operators and players with commands enabled can change it, either by resetting the choice or by forcing a mode onto a player. Admin commands can also resend the prompt. Singleplayer and LAN hosts count as having these permissions, which makes the mod usable for challenge runs, hardcore-style play and multiplayer survival alike.
The mod runs on the server only, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric on Minecraft 26.1.2. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. A French translation is included, and other languages use English.
