Read Food Stats Before Eating

Viewing Hunger and Saturation Values

When you hold any food item in your hand, the mod displays its nutritional stats directly on the item's tooltip. This appears when you hover over food in your inventory or hotbar.

To see food stats:

1. Open your inventory or look at your hotbar

2. Hover over or hold any food item

3. Read the hunger restoration value (shown with a hunger icon)

4. Read the saturation value (shown with a saturation icon)

The hunger value tells you how many hunger points the food will restore. Saturation affects how long you stay full after eating—higher saturation means you won't get hungry again as quickly.

Comparing Foods

Use this information to choose the best food for your situation. If you're low on hunger, pick items with high hunger values. If you want to stay full longer during long mining trips, prioritize foods with high saturation.

This works for all vanilla foods: apples, bread, steak, fish, berries, cake, and more. The stats appear automatically without any extra setup needed.
