Saturation Plus

Traditionally, saturation cannot exceed the player's hunger level, which caps out as 20.

This mod adds the following QoL improvements to saturation:

• Saturation is not restricted to hunger level. For instance, a player with a hunger level of 6 can still have a saturation level of 7 or more.

• Excess hunger bars from eating food will be carried over as saturation. For instance, eating a golden carrot (6 hunger points) at 18 hunger points will bring hunger to the maximum of 20, with the remaining 4 being allocated to saturation points.

• Without the restriction to hunger level, saturation can accumulate past 20, allowing the full efficiency of mods that restore large amounts of hunger or saturation points (>20).

For mod versions 1.0-1.2, saturation can be made visible through mods such as AppleSkin, or queried through the added command /getSaturation. For 1.3+, saturation and exhaustion are available as visual indicators beside the hunger bar.

Saturation Plus must be installed on both client and server to function as intended. This mod currently prioritizes Fabric versions of Minecraft, but ports to other modloaders (Forge, NeoForge) may be created in the foreseeable future.

• Update: Saturation Plus is currently available for Forge/NeoForge versions 1.20-1.21. Going forward, Fabric and NeoForge will continue to receive updates for Minecraft 26.1 and beyond, while Forge will be backported to older versions like 1.16.
