About this Mod
Useful Food fixes the frustration of wasting food in Minecraft by making the hunger system more logical.
Overflow Conversion: Any food points that go over the 20-point limit are automatically converted into saturation instead of being lost.
Uncapped Saturation: It removes the vanilla restriction that forces your saturation level to stay below your hunger level.
Extended Reserves: Saturation can now climb up to 40 points, allowing for much longer periods of health regeneration and sprinting before you need to eat again.
