About this Mod

Granular Hunger

This mod reworks the Minecraft's hunger system to increase granularity, and ports some systems from Better Than Wolves' Hardcore Hunger.

This mod requires that client and server both have it installed in order for it to work, otherwise weird behavior will occur.

Features:

  • Full hunger bar is now 60 units. 1 shank = 6 units
  • Implements granular_hunger:hunger_pips item component that supplements the minecraft:food item component
  • Implements granular_hunger:hunger_cost player attribute. Base value is 1. Higher value = Lower exhaustion required to drain hunger pips.
  • When under Hunger effect, you can't eat food, cake is not an exception.
  • Saturation is now fat, and you don't spawn with any.
  • Natural regeneration is reworked to take some time when above 4 shanks (24 hunger units).
    • Easy difficulty: Regen half a heart every 12 seconds.
    • Normal or Hard difficulty: Regen half a heart 20 seconds.

Acknowledgment

This mod ports functionality from the Better Than Wolves Mod, which was created by FlowerChild and is currently maintained by the CE Team. Link to the original mod -> here.
