how do i stop the wendigo from spawning

The Wendigo mechanic is disabled by default, so it won't spawn unless your server admin or you have enabled it in the configuration file. You can also use the /cannibalism set command to lower your Wendigo Level before it gets too high.

Overview

The Cannibalism Mod is designed for extreme survival scenarios where traditional food sources are unavailable. It introduces a set of knives that allow players to harvest meat from living creatures—including themselves—without necessarily killing the target. This mod is often used in hardcore survival packs or roleplay environments where resources are scarce.

Beyond simple survival, the mod includes a deep configuration system via JSON and an optional 'Wendigo' mechanic that punishes or rewards players for their descent into cannibalism.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get my first piece of flesh?

Craft or find a knife, then hold it and press Shift + Right-click on yourself. This will damage you and drop Player Flesh that you can cook and eat.

Can I get meat from animals without killing them?

Yes, right-click animals like cows and pigs with a knife to cut meat from them. They take damage but stay alive, so you can harvest multiple times from the same animal.

What happens if I eat too much flesh?

Your Wendigo Level rises with each piece of flesh eaten. At high levels you gain buffs like Speed and Strength, but also suffer increased hunger drain and eventually negative effects like Nausea and Blindness before a Wendigo spawns.

What's the difference between player flesh and villager flesh?

Both restore the same hunger when cooked, but you get Player Flesh by using a knife on yourself or other players, while Villager Flesh comes from villagers using Shift + Right-click.

Can I eat witch flesh?

Yes, but Witch Flesh cannot be cooked and gives you a Harming II potion effect when eaten because it's corrupted, making it a risky food source.

How do I check my wendigo level?

Use the command /cannibalism stat <player name> to see the current Wendigo Level for any player on the server.

Does this mod work on multiplayer servers?

Yes, you can use knives on other players to get Player Flesh in multiplayer, and the Wendigo Level is tracked per player.

Can I customize the mod's sounds and particles?

Yes, the configuration file lets you change the knife sound and adjust the amount of blood particles displayed.

What do the knives do exactly?

Knives are tools that damage a target (yourself, mobs, villagers, or other players) and make them drop meat or flesh without killing them, except for zombies and other special mobs.
