Regen Choice

Regen Choice is a Fabric mod that lets each player choose their own health regeneration mode when joining a world for the first time.

When a new player joins, they receive a message in chat with buttons allowing them to choose between two modes:

• Natural Regeneration — the player keeps normal Minecraft health regeneration.
• No Regeneration — natural health regeneration is disabled for that player.

This is useful for survival worlds, multiplayer servers, challenges, hardcore-style gameplay, or any world where players should be able to choose their own difficulty style.

Features

• Per-player regeneration mode selection
• Chat buttons for an easy first-time setup
• Command fallback if chat buttons do not work correctly
• Admin/OP commands to reset or force a player’s choice
• Choices are saved per world
• French translation included
• English used as the default language for all other languages

How it works

When a player joins a world for the first time, the mod sends them a choice prompt in chat.

The player can choose:

• Normal mode: keeps natural health regeneration enabled
• Hardcore mode: disables natural health regeneration for that player

Once a player has chosen their regeneration mode, they cannot change it themselves.

Only an OP player on a server, or a player with commands enabled in Singleplayer or LAN, can change a player’s mode afterward.

Commands

Player command

If the chat buttons do not work correctly, players can choose their mode manually with:

/regenchoice_select [normal/hardcore]

Examples:

/regenchoice_select normal

/regenchoice_select hardcore

Admin / OP commands

These commands can only be used by OP players on a server, or by players with commands enabled in Singleplayer or LAN worlds.

Reset a player’s choice

This command sends the choice prompt back to the selected player:

/regenmodeadmin reset [PLAYER]

Example:

/regenmodeadmin reset Steve

Force a player’s mode

This command forces a regeneration mode for a selected player:

/regenmodeadmin set [normal/hardcore] [PLAYER]

Examples:

/regenmodeadmin set normal Steve

/regenmodeadmin set hardcore Steve

Permissions

After a player has made their choice, only the following users can change it:

• OP players on a server
• Players with commands enabled in Singleplayer
• Players with commands enabled in LAN worlds

Regular players cannot change their regeneration mode after choosing it.

Data storage

The mod stores each player’s UUID and regeneration choice in a .txt file inside the world’s config folder.

This means regeneration choices are saved per world/map.

Languages

This mod is translated into:

• English
• French

All other languages use English by default.

Compatibility

This mod is made for Fabric.

Notes

The regeneration choice is permanent for regular players once selected.

Admins and OP players can still reset or force a player’s mode at any time using the admin commands.

Have fun!
