Don't Eat That

A Minecraft mod that adds a comprehensive nutrient system with 7 nutrient types, each providing distinct status effects and gameplay mechanics. Eat a balanced diet to gain benefits, or overindulge in cactus to unlock a dangerous thorns-like body curse.

Features

• 7 Nutrient Types: Vitamin A, B6, C, E, K, Fiber, and Spiky. Each food item contributes to one or more nutrient pools.
• Status Effects: Maintain nutrient levels above 1.5 to activate lasting effects:
  • Vitamin A: Night Vision
  • Vitamin B6: Luck
  • Vitamin C: Poison immunity, passive regeneration (stronger at higher levels)
  • Vitamin E: Damage reduction on hit
  • Vitamin K: Regeneration boost
  • Fiber: Faster nutrient absorption
  • Spiky: Thorns body -- reflects damage back to attackers, but amplifies damage from falls, fire, drowning, suffocation, starvation, and poison
• Visual HUD: On-screen nutrient bar shows your current nutrient point icons. Press H to toggle, K to open the nutrition guide.
• New Items: 9 fruit types found in leaves, vines, and grass. Fiber items and a seed block with crafting and smelting recipes.
• Customizable: Toggle effects and fiber mechanics, adjust decay rate, and configure HUD position via the config file.

Spiky System

Eating cactus grants spiky points. At 5 or more spiky icons:

• Thorns: Damage dealt to you is reflected back to the attacker, multiplied by your spiky level (6 icons = 1.2x, 7 = 1.4x, and so on)
• Curse: Fall damage, fire, lava, drowning, suffocation, starvation, and poison damage are amplified by the same multiplier plus a flat bonus equal to your spiky point count
