Nutritional Balance is a forge\/neoforge mod that enhances the food system to encourage you to eat a balanced diet. Eating a variety of nutrients with the right balance will make you stronger and faster. Ignoring your nutritional balance, however, can slow you down and weaken you.<\/p>\n
This mod is easy to configure to your liking with data packs and\/or configs. Only raw ingredients need be tagged, since the mod will traverse through crafting ingredients to discover a food’s nutrients.<\/p>\n
## How to Play<\/p>\n
### Healthy Eating
\nEach food in Minecraft will have one or more nutrients. Hover over a food item to see which nutrients it provides along with the total number of Nutritional Units (NUs).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you eat food, you will gain the nutritional units provided by the food divided among the nutrients it provides. You will want to eat foods that provide a variety of nutrients and avoid eating too much of a single nutrient.<\/p>\n
## Keeping Track
\nTo see how you are doing, press the ‘n’ key (configurable) or click the nutrient button\u00a0in your inventory.
\n<\/p>\n
This will bring up the Nutrients GUI.
\n<\/p>\n
The blue shaded areas show your current level of each nutrient.
\nThe vertical green lines show the boundaries of the “target” area.
\nThe vertical red lines at the left show the “malnourishment” boundaries.
\nThe red lines at the right show the “engorgement” boundaries.<\/p>\n
## Buffs and Debuffs
\nGet all of your nutrients in the target areas to achieve a balanced diet and get a few buffs.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Avoid letting your nutrient levels cross the red boundaries or you will get some debuffs.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
## Special Nutrients
\nNotice that some nutrients have different targets. Sugar is a “non-essential” nutrient, which means it does not count against your target as long as it stays below the top target boundary, and it never causes malnourishment. Veggies are always good. As long as the level is above the lower target boundary, it will count toward your target. You can eat as many veggies as you want, and it will not cause engorgement.<\/p>\n
Nutritional Balance doesn’t make it super difficult to keep your nutrients balanced as long as you don’t ignore them completely.<\/p>\n
