Eating consistently pays off over time. Nourished tracks cumulative intake per food group and grants milestone rewards as you build healthy ha~~~~bits.

Each food group has its own three-tier progression, beginner, journeyman, master, plus a hidden "perfectly balanced" milestone for maintaining all Five groups at once. Milestones grant a temporary buff and unlock an entry in your Advancements tab.

Milestone goals, reward effects, and durations are fully configurable, and modpack authors can register entirely custom milestones through datapacks.

When all five food groups are above 75%, you get:

• Health Boost I: passively while balanced
• Regeneration I: passively while balanced

Let any single group drop below 25% and a debuff kicks in:

Dairy has no penalty effect; by default, it's tracked and affects your balance score but doesn't apply a debuff when depleted. This is configurable, and a Sugars group is planned for a future update.

🍽️ Variety is always rewarded

Eating the same food repeatedly becomes less effective over time, so rotating what you eat always pays off. Memory fades naturally, so foods you've avoided recover their full value on their own.

Vanilla Saturation prevents eating at full hunger. Nourished lets you still eat and gain nutrition even when your saturation bar is full; light foods like berries and snacks can be eaten for nutrients without restoring saturation, while heavy meals follow vanilla rules by default.

Both behaviors are configurable: enableBlockHeavySources & enableBlockLightSource give server admins full control.

Eating raw or undercooked food has consequences. Nourished tracks a gut health value for every player that degrades when you eat raw food and recovers over time from cooked food and dietary variety.

Raw foods are classified into four tiers:

Eating the same raw food repeatedly within a memory window increases sensitivity, the more you do it, the worse the penalty gets. Gut health recovers passively and faster when you eat cooked food and maintain dietary diversity.

Resistance can be built up over time, reducing penalty scale. Everything, tiers, durations, nutrient penalties, recovery rates, is configurable via config/nourished/raw_food.json and server module toggles.

Nourished works with modded food items that use vanilla FoodProperties. You do not need to write integration code for basic nutrition tracking.

Bundled compatibility data helps foods from popular kitchen and farming mods show up on your nutrient bars out of the box. For edge cases, server owners can adjust behavior through config files and tags.

Everything ships with sensible defaults. Server owners and modpack authors can tune behavior without touching Java:

• Toggle individual modules on or off (HUD, decay, effects, gut health, and more)
• Adjust decay rates and thresholds per nutrient
• Add, remove, or replace effects via config/nourished/effects.json
• Tune eating rules with enableBlockHeavySources and enableBlockLightSource
• Edit food values, overrides, colors, scanner spec, and compat settings under config/nourished/
• Save and share full config snapshots with a single share code

• Run /nourished scan_analysis in-game to analyze all loaded food items and generate classification reports under config/nourished/scanner_analysis/.

The scanner produces:

• multi_value_recommendations.json: foods confidently assigned to one or more nutrient groups

• unassigned_sources.txt: foods that couldn't be classified automatically and need manual review

• scanner_metrics.txt: summary stats across the full item registry

• Copy recommended tag entries into your datapack to make classifications permanent.

• Unassigned items can be tagged manually using the example above.

Most customization happens in config/nourished/ after first launch, effects, food values, overrides, colors, presets, and module locks.

Nourished also ships bundled defaults under data/nourished/ (nutrient tags, compat entries, presets). Advanced pack authors can override some JSON through datapacks where supported; config files remain the primary path for server tuning.

The in-game Food Scanner (config screen) can help inspect and assign foods in singleplayer and write generated tag files into your world's datapack folder for manual review.

Example: adding a food to a nutrient tag

Create the following file inside your datapack:

your_datapack/
  data/
    nourished/
      tags/
        item/
          nutrients/
            vegetables.json

{
  "replace": false,
  "values": [
    {
      "id": "pamhc2foodextended:honeyglazedcarrotsitem",
      "required": false
    }
  ]
}

"replace": false means your entries merge with Nourished's defaults, nothing gets overwritten.

Optional KubeJS integration for modpack authors. Requires KubeJS on the pack. Scripts go in kubejs/server_scripts/ and kubejs/startup_scripts/.

KubeJS support is split across two layers:

• MarieLib provides generic value tracking events (MarieEvents.*) available to any MarieLib-based mod
• Nourished provides nutrition-specific aliases (NourishedEvents.*) on top

Server scripts — nutrition events:

NourishedEvents.nutrientChanged(event => {
    if (event.nutrientKey === 'proteins' && event.newValue < 0.25) {
        event.player.tell('Eat some protein!')
    }
})
NourishedEvents.nutrientModifier(event => {
    if (event.nutrientKey === 'vegetables') {
        event.amount *= 2
    }
})
NourishedEvents.foodEaten(event => {
    event.nutrientDeltas.forEach((value, key) => {
        console.log(key + ': ' + value)
    })
})

Also available: nutrientCritical, nutrientExcess, rawFoodPenalty, gutHealthChanged.

sourceConsumed is a generic MarieLib event and does not expose nutrientKey or newValue — use nutrientChanged instead.

Server scripts — generic MarieLib events:

MarieEvents.valueChanged(event => {
    console.log(event.playerId + ' ' + event.valueKey + ': ' + event.newValue)
})
MarieEvents.valueDeltaModifier(event => {
    if (event.valueKey === 'proteins') {
        event.amount *= 1.5
    }
})

Also available: valueCritical, valueExcess, sourceConsumed, decayTick, playerSynced.

Startup scripts — register custom nutrients:

NourishedAPI.registerNutrient({
    id: 'omega3',
    displayName: 'Omega-3',
    color: 0x4AA3FF,
    decayRate: 0.0012,
    critical: 0.12,
    low: 0.30,
    excess: 0.90
})

See API.md on GitHub for the full event and binding reference.
