Modest Meals

Modest Meals

Modest Meals is a vanilla-style overhaul of Minecraft's food system. The hunger bar is replaced with a stamina bar, food heals you directly as you digest it, and you can cook your own meals out of almost any ingredient.

Features

No more hunger!

• Food heals you gradually as it digests. Light snacks digest quickly, hearty meals heal for longer.
• Hold a food item to see how many hearts it will restore.
• Tooltips show what a food restores and what it adds to a meal.
• The vanilla Hunger effect becomes Drained, which slows stamina recovery. You can also turn it off or swap it for another effect.

Stamina!

• Sprinting drains stamina.
• Use it up and you become exhausted, which prevents sprinting until the bar has fully refilled.
• Stamina refills on its own after a short pause. How fast it refills while you're moving can be configured.
• Some foods and effects change your stamina:
  • Endurance gives you a bigger stamina bar.
  • Nourishment stops stamina from draining.
  • Exhausted stops stamina from refilling.
• Optionally, health can regenerate naturally while your stamina is high, like vanilla saturation healing.

Meals!

Combine ingredients to make a meal. Each meal's health, stamina, digestion time, and effects come from what you put in it, and its texture and name change to match.

For example, a sandwich made with beetroot gives Strength, so it's called a Mighty Sandwich.

• Ingredients can add effects like Strength, Haste, Night Vision, or Water Breathing. More of an ingredient means a stronger, longer-lasting effect.
• Each effect gives the meal a name prefix, like Hasty or Tidal.
• Ingredients that don't belong in a meal make a Dubious meal. It still fills you up but gives no effects.
• Some ingredient combinations make a mod's own dish instead.
  • For example, a beef patty, leafy greens, and tomato in a sandwich gives you Farmer's Delight's Hamburger.
• Pizzas can be placed down and eaten slice by slice.
• With EMI installed, every meal has a recipe page showing which ingredients work.

Customisable

• Nearly everything is configurable in-game with YACL, from digestion speed and stamina to the HUD layout. You can even turn the hunger replacement off entirely.
• The Food Effect Editor lets you view and tweak every food's stats and effects, then save the changes to a datapack.
  • On a server, the editor shows that server's food data (read-only).
• All food stats, ingredients, meal types, and meal effects are loaded from datapacks, so modpacks can freely change any of them.
