About this Mod

Mod Description:

This mod aims to take you back to the era of early alpha versions of Minecraft by simplifying the health and food system. The hunger bar is removed, and now health is instantly restored upon eating, just like it was in the old days. Each type of food restores a specific amount of health, and the food item is consumed immediately after eating.

This mod is a backport of Retro Hunger Mod for Minecraft 1.12.2.

Installation Notes:

Forge: Requires the MixinBooter mod to be installed separately.
Cleanroom Loader: Works without any additional mods required.

If you have the Scaling Health mod installed and want to disable natural regeneration, go to the Scaling Health mod settings, navigate to player > regen, and disable the Enable Bonus Regen option.
