Useful Food

by oguzselmancetin

Useful Food is a Fabric mod that changes how saturation works, so food points above the 20-point hunger limit are kept as saturation rather than lost.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.20.6

What it does

Vanilla Minecraft caps saturation below the hunger level, and any extra food points from a meal are wasted. The mod removes that cap, converts the overflow into saturation, and lets the saturation climb up to 40 points. A higher reserve means health regeneration and sprinting last much longer before a player needs to eat again. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under the MIT License, and the code is open source with public source and issue tracker links.

Key features

  1. Overflow conversion

    Food points that would go past the 20-point hunger limit are converted into saturation instead of being discarded.

  2. Uncapped saturation

    The vanilla rule that keeps saturation below the hunger level is removed, so saturation can exceed hunger.

  3. Extended reserves

    Saturation can climb to 40 points, extending regeneration and sprinting between meals.
