Fine tune your game or your modpack&#8217;s challenge level to your taste!<\/p>\n<p>Harder Natural Healing will make beacons, bandages, potions, healing items, and healing spells much more useful!<\/p>\n<p>By default, this mod simply restores the slower healing rate minecraft used to have and adds the option to have a small heal each morning when the player wakes up.<\/p>\n<p>However, Harder Natural Healing actually gives you complete control over natural healing in your game or modpack.<\/p>\n<p>## What Options do you have?<\/p>\n<p>Do you want players to heal faster?   Or Slower?   You control how fast a player heals per second.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want healing to use more food?  Or less food?  You control how much hunger healing causes.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to allow players to still heal when they are hungrier?  Or to be less hungry to heal?  You control how much hunger before healing stops.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want players to heal when they sleep and wakeup?   Or not?  To heal a little or a lot after sleeping?  You control how much a person heals when they wake up.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to play in Peaceful mode but want hunger to still work?  And take damage (even die if you want to!) from starvation.<\/p>\n<p>And In Version 11+ You can configure it so players will starve to hit point level including 0 hit points in any difficulty setting. <\/p>\n<p>## Default Configuration File<\/p>\n<p>The Default settings restore the original Minecraft healing rates and add a small heal each morning a person wakes up in bed.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8220;Harder Natural Healing Control Values&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>#healingPerSecond #Range: 0.0 ~ 10.0<\/p>\n<p>healingPerSecond = 0.25<\/p>\n<p>#Can the player get hungry and maybe even starve to death in peaceful mode.<\/p>\n<p>peacefulHunger = true<\/p>\n<p>#minimum hit points for peaceful mode starvation.<\/p>\n<p>#Range: 0 ~ 20<\/p>\n<p>minimumStarvationHealth = 0<\/p>\n<p>#Attack Healing Delay in Ticks<\/p>\n<p>#Attack Healing Delay in Ticks #Range: 0 ~ 3600<\/p>\n<p>attackHealingDelayTicks = 400<\/p>\n<p>#minimumFoodHealingLevel #Range: 0.0 ~ 22.0*<\/p>\n<p>minimumFoodHealingLevel = 16.0<\/p>\n<p>#healingExhaustionCost &#8211; Hunger exhausted per healing event. #Range: 0.0 ~ 10.0<\/p>\n<p>healingExhaustionCost = 2.0<\/p>\n<p>#extraExhaustionWhenHurt #extraExhaustionWhenHurt #Range: 0.0 ~ 1.0<\/p>\n<p>extraExhaustionWhenHurt = 0.0125<\/p>\n<p>#wakeupHealingAmount #Range: 0.0 ~ 10.0<\/p>\n<p>wakeupHealingAmount = 4.0<\/p>\n<p>#Debug Level: 0 = Off, 1 = Log, 2 = Chat+Log #Range: 0 ~ 2<\/p>\n<p>debugLevel = 0<\/p>\n<p>## Commands<br \/>\nUsers with operator level (or in creative LAN game with cheats on) can use the following commands.<\/p>\n<p>type \/hardernaturalhealing and then the command option.
