About this Mod
🧱 Realism Tweaks
Realism Tweaks is a survival balancing pack for Minecraft 1.21.4 that blends deeper hunger management, environmental realism, and a simple in-game configuration menu.
🌾 Key Features
🍖 Food Rank System (S–D)
Each meal has a rank that defines its effect duration and hunger consumption multiplier. Once eaten, a nutritional buff is applied and affects all player activity.💪 Dynamic Hunger Usage
Sprinting, swimming, crouching, item use, armor weight, and natural regeneration all affect hunger. Low-tier buffs can even passively cleanse fatigue when idle.⚔️ Armor Combat Cost
Attacking while wearing heavy armor consumes more hunger, encouraging thoughtful combat.🍲 Informative Food Tooltips
Display rank, hunger modifier, and buff duration, making meal planning effortless.💦 Realistic Water Impacts
Jumping into shallow water now hurts — the shallower the pool, the stronger the damage. Deep lakes still soften the fall.⚒️ Heavy Anvils
Placing or dropping anvils will crush soft blocks below, without reducing anvil durability.🪨 New Crafting Materials
Adds two simple ingredients — Pebble and Charcoal Chunk — available in the Ingredients tab, ready for your custom recipes.
⚙️ Configuration
Three main toggles can be enabled or disabled:
Heavy Anvils
Water Jump Damage
Arrows can break glass
You can configure them from the config file or via the built-in mod settings menu accessible in-game.
