🥐 Crave & Feast

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.

⚙️ Default Gameplay Rules

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
