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.
