Saturation Overload
by Kensufox
Saturation Overload changes how the saturation value works for players who eat often, with a penalty tied to the amount of excess saturation.
What it does
Saturation Overload applies a debuff whose strength depends on how much saturation a player holds above the normal maximum. The mod is meant as a counter to food mods that let players eat without ever becoming hungry, and the author describes it as a way to stop unlimited saturation. Players who eat a lot take the effect as the surplus grows. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. Builds are published for Fabric across 11 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Excess saturation debuff
A debuff applies in proportion to the saturation a player holds beyond the usual limit.
Counter to unlimited eating
The effect targets food mods that keep hunger from ever returning, so eating has a cost.
Adjustable limit
Modpack makers can raise or remove the saturation limit, as the author notes for combining it with similar mods.

Make for modpack with saturation plus or similar mod that make the saturation limit higher (or remove it completly) and apply debuff depending on the amount of excess saturation you have.
