Saturative Overhaul
by FelixAgairu
Saturative Overhaul changes the hunger saturation system in Fabric survival play, so food matters more and the saturation bar drains even while the player stands still.
What it does
The mod replaces the default hunger saturation system, which starts at 20, with a configurable one. Food is meant to be more useful and the player's life harder: saturation falls over time even when standing still, and the bar shows graded states such as starving, normal and overeating. Food nutrition values can be randomized, and the food bar scale can be adjusted through the Customize settings, with up to 400 customized food levels and a three-layer food system.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, and its files cover 1.21 – 1.21.11. Required dependencies are Fabric API and Tiny Config Manager Lib. The mod is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Its code uses the HungerManager class, so it can work alongside other mods that touch hunger.
Key features
Changed saturation system
Hunger saturation is recalculated with its own rules, replacing the vanilla values.
Saturation loss while idle
The saturation level keeps dropping even when the player does not move.
Randomized nutrition values
Food nutrition can be randomized through the configuration, so the same item may feed differently.
Configurable food bar
The food bar scale and a right or left placement can be set, with customized food levels.
