Features

Hunger passively depletes by exhaustion point increasing by 0.0005 per tick, and it takes approx 5-6 seconds to get to 0.06 exhaustion points.

Low Hunger Related effects.

Low hunger has 2 stages. Stage 1 can be achieved by having your hunger below 7 points(or below 3.5 shanks), and then you will receive hunger 1 and mining fatigue 1.

Stage 2 can be achieved by having your hunger below 5 points(or below 2.5 shanks), and you will receive an additional slowness effect.

High Hunger Related Effects

You can achieve positive effects once your hunger has 14 points(7 shanks) or greater. You will receive haste and strength.

Other Tweaks and Realistic Features

Sleeping Hunger

After going to sleep and then waking up, your hunger(or saturation bar) will decrease by 3-4 shanks after each time of waking up(keep in mind it's broken as this happens every time you wake up, regardless of daytime).

Faster Hunger Drain

Your hunger will drain faster when doing actions such as, jumping, sprinting, or swimming. It takes approximately 6-7 seconds for a half of a shank to drain when sprinting, and about 9-10 seconds when swimming.

No Hunger Damage

Your hunger will not completely drain, and instead, will be always at just a single point that will never drain.

Gamerules

CanDieOfHunger

This gamerule toggles whether you can die or not, if you have no hunger left. Do keep in mind the hunger bar will still show one hunger points which is a bug that can't be fixed.

DrainSaturationWhenSleeping

This gamerule toggles whether saturation is drained from hunger once waking up.

Items

The mod adds three new items to the game. Rotten meat which drop exclusively from zombies(for now). Upon ingesting, you will receive hunger 10 for 30 seconds. The second item is the Edible Glistering Watermelon which can be crafted by surrounding a watermelon with gold nuggets in a + sign orientation. This recovers 6 saturation bars and 1.5 hunger bars. The third item is the hunger stick which is mostly used for debugging, and can only be obtainable via commands or from the operator creative tab. Upon right clicking while holding it in your main hand, your hunger will be set to zero.
