Food

Hardcore Hunger drastically changes the way the food system works in Minecraft. For example, the invisible saturation value used in vanilla has been replaced with a visible fat bar. Fat is built up when the player eats more food than necessary to fill the hunger bar or when eating desserts after full. Fat is burned off when the hunger level goes below the fat level.

Additional changes

• Additional food poisoning effects for raw foods aside from chicken
• Hunger steadily decreases as time passes as well as when you perform actions
• Food stacks are limited to 16

Side Effects

Failing to keep track of your health, food and fat levels can produce negative side effects.

Keep in Mind

• No negative effects are applied when the respective bar is above half full.
• As a general rule, food items with more ingredients are more efficient.
• Under Hardcore Hunger, since healing speed is greatly reduced, staying fed above "peckish" is important when there is a risk of health loss.
• Losing the ability to jump also means losing the ability to swim
