Simple Stamina
by Temur_132
Simple Stamina adds a stamina bar above hunger that drains while players sprint, jump, attack, dig or swim, and it recovers as food and rest restore it.
What it does
Stamina is a fatigue system placed above the hunger bar. Sprinting, jumping, attacking, digging and swimming each drain it, and food restores a small amount depending on its saturation, so better-saturated meals return more stamina. Certain potions brewed from flesh and sugary fruit affect how quickly stamina comes back. Long-term exhaustion builds up when players skip sleep or overexert themselves.
Sleep restores half of the current fatigue, so resting remains the main way to recover fully. The mod ships with a balanced preset, and the author notes that future updates will add config options. It targets survival play that aims for a less forgiving pace, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds are published for Forge and NeoForge in the 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 range, and the code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Stamina bar above hunger
A separate bar tracks stamina and sits above the hunger bar, so both resources can be read at once.
Activity-based drain
Sprinting, jumping, attacking, digging and swimming all reduce stamina, so movement and combat have a cost.
Food and potion recovery
Food restores stamina according to its saturation, and certain brewed potions speed up how quickly it returns.
Sleep and exhaustion
Sleep restores half of the current fatigue, while skipping sleep or overexerting builds up long-term exhaustion.

Use cases
Survival pacing
Players who want endurance to matter can rely on the drain from movement and combat to slow long sessions.
Server rules
A server that wants a harder survival pace can run the mod with its balanced preset and no extra setup beyond installing it on both sides.
Who it’s for: Players who want survival to include rest and food as real limits, and server owners who want that pace for everyone on the server.
