Renourished Delight

How it works

Normally in Minecraft, food just refills your hunger bar and saturation. With this mod, every food item you eat gets its own slot (up to a limit you can configure) and while it's active, it gives you bonuses like extra max health, speed or other attribute boosts. Each slot counts down over time and drops off once its duration runs out, so you'll want to keep eating to keep your buffs going instead of eating once and forgetting about it.

Different foods give different bonuses and last different amounts of time, so eating a variety of food actually matters now instead of just grabbing whatever gives the most hunger points. Food attributes works for every mod out of the box, but you can always change that on the config page.

Nourishment

Once every food slot is full, eating again grants Nourishment. It speeds up natural health regen and stops the extra food drain that normally comes with the Hunger effect. Eating a food you already have active tops it back up, and eating a new food while full replaces whichever slot has the least time left, so you are never blocked from eating.

Game Rules

The mod adds eleven game rules for server-wide customization:

Game Rule	Default	Description
renourisheddelight:playerStartingHearts	20	Base max health before any food bonuses
renourisheddelight:maxConsumableFood	3	Maximum number of foods active at once
renourisheddelight:foodDrainRate	100	How fast active foods tick down, in percent (50 is half speed, 0 never drains)
renourisheddelight:regenHealthTickInterval	60	Ticks between natural health regeneration (three times faster while nourished)
renourisheddelight:regenDelayAfterDamage	60	Ticks to wait after taking damage before natural regen can resume
renourisheddelight:nourishmentDurationPercent	10	Nourishment duration as a % of the shortest active food
renourisheddelight:doSleepFoodDrain	true	Whether skipping the night drains food, scaled by how much of the night was skipped, for every player
renourisheddelight:doNourishment	false	Whether eating while full grants the Nourishment effect
renourisheddelight:doStarvation	true	Applies the configured starvation effects while a player has no active food
renourisheddelight:doReplenish	true	Whether eating a food you already have active tops it back up, once it is at 50% or less remaining
renourisheddelight:doReplaceLowest	true	Whether eating a new food while every slot is full replaces the food with the least time left

Eating resolves in one of three ways: a food you already have active is topped back up (doReplenish, once it is at 50% or less remaining), a food you do not have active takes a free slot, and if there is no free slot it replaces the one with the least time left (doReplaceLowest). When a rule turns its case off the food cannot be eaten at all, and the player is told why. Food that carries status effects is still edible in that situation, granting its effects but no slot.

The Hunger effect, health regen and sleeping all drain food at a fixed cost scaled by foodDrainRate, and natural regen is disabled while a player has no active food.

Configuration

All settings are also editable in-game: open the pause menu (or ModMenu on Fabric / the mod list on NeoForge) and pick Renourished Delight to get a screen.

!config-item-listing

!config-item-bonuses

The configs are also available as config files:

Client Config

Option	Default	Description
foodBarOffsetX	0	Horizontal pixel offset for the food display UI
foodBarOffsetY	0	Vertical pixel offset for the food display UI
goldenPaletteItem	minecraft:golden_carrot	Item ID used to sample the color palette for the golden-effect tint
showFoodDisplayInInventory	false	Whether to render the active food items panel next to the inventory screen
clipOddMaxHealthHeart	true	Whether to clip the last heart's unfillable half when max health is odd, instead of showing a half heart that can never fill

Common Config

Option	Default	Description
config.foods	[]	Per-item attribute bonuses. Only items you customize are listed; anything left out falls back to a max health bonus derived from its nutrition and saturation. An entry is the full definition for that item, so listing only a swim speed bonus grants only swim speed
config.multipliers	[]	Per-attribute duration multipliers applied when a bonus is granted. Attributes left out use 1.0; stored per-item durations are unaffected
config.starvation	slowness, mining fatigue, weakness	Effects applied in stages while a player has no active food

Compatibility

Works out of the box with vanilla food and is built to play nicely with other food mods, including Farmer's Delight. Presets for supported mods ship with the mod itself and can be tweaked per-item from the config screen.
