Make food diversity finally matter.
Crave & Feast redesigns Minecraft’s hunger system to reward variety and discourage repetition.

Each player has one food they crave. Eating that food gives 2× hunger and saturation, while eating the same thing repeatedly provides reduced benefits. This makes survival gameplay more balanced and flavorful — no more living on steak forever.
All values are configurable in config/crave_and_feast.json. Here’s how the defaults work:
| Rule | Condition | Multiplier | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🍗 Craving food | Current craving item | × 2.0 | Always gives double nourishment and saturation |
| 🥩 First time eating a food | Eaten ≤ 0 times | × 2.0 | “Never eaten” — strongest bonus for new foods |
| 🍞 Rarely eaten food | Eaten ≤ 7 times | × 1.4 | Still somewhat rewarding |
| 🍖 Often eaten food | Eaten > 7 times | × 0.8 | Small penalty — you’re getting used to it |
| ⏳ Craving change interval | Every 24 000 ticks (≈ 20 min real-time) | — | Your craving rotates automatically |
| 🍴 Craving limit per round | After 8 times eating the same craving | — | A new craving will be chosen early |
| 📜 Food history length | 32 entries | — | Only the most recent 32 foods are remembered |
