Staminafy
by TygrysGames
Players who want a running limit on their character can add Staminafy, a NeoForge mod that installs a simple stamina system on top of Minecraft.
What it does
Staminafy installs a stamina pool for each player and entity. Running drains one stamina point per tick from a maximum set to 20 by default, so a player can run for about one second on a full bar. Stopping running lets stamina return, but it only starts coming back after a short delay. Reaching zero stamina forces the player to stop, and regeneration waits longer before it resumes.
The mod is driven by four gamerules that control how stamina behaves, with a setting for turning the system on or off. Server owners can change the maximum, the regeneration rate per tick, and whether the Minecraft hunger system is removed so that food heals directly instead. The bar's position can be moved to the center of the screen or the right side of the inventory, and a size option exists for players whose GUI Scale is low.
Staminafy runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.8, and the latest file is 1.0.0 released on 2026-05-10. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Stamina pool
Each player and entity gets a maximum stamina value, and running spends it one point per tick.
Delayed regeneration
Stamina returns after running stops, and a longer delay applies once the bar has been fully drained.
Hunger replacement
A gamerule removes the Minecraft hunger system so that food restores health instead.
Stamina bar placement
The bar can sit at the center of the screen or on the right side of the inventory, and its size can be adjusted.
