✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 17,464 endorsements and 85.3M downloads prove it's a staple.
- Pure QoL: gives you info without changing any game mechanics, so it's safe for any playthrough.
- Works on vanilla servers with plugins, so you're not locked out of multiplayer.
⚠️ Cons
- Needs server-side install for accurate saturation/exhaustion, which can be a hassle on servers you don't control.
- Vanilla servers require extra plugin setup, adding friction if you're not the admin.
- Mostly client-side, but the sync feature means it's not fully standalone.
For any Minecraft player who wants to min-max their food management and understand hidden hunger mechanics. Also great for modpack makers who want to include a standard QoL mod. If you're a casual builder who never worries about food, you might not need it.

- Use the F3 debug overlay to see exact exhaustion values, which helps you time your eating for maximum efficiency.
- The tooltip info is a great way to compare foods at a glance—use it to plan your diet for long mining trips.
