Does eating rotten food hurt my sanity?

Yes—consuming raw or spoiled meat drains your sanity noticeably. Stick to cooked food whenever possible, and avoid eating when your sanity is already low.

Can I reduce sanity loss in the config file?

Yes, the default.toml file lets you customize all sanity drain triggers, recovery amounts, and shadow mob spawn rates to suit your preferred difficulty.

Do tamed pets help with sanity?

Spending time near tamed wolves, cats, and other farm animals restores your sanity. Breeding livestock also provides a sanity boost, making a pet-friendly base a good mental health investment.

What's the Garland and how do I use it?

The Garland is a craftable item you can equip to slow down sanity loss during adventures. It won't stop the drain entirely, but it gives you more time before needing to find a safe place to recover.

Does rain affect my sanity?

Yes—getting soaked in rain drains your sanity, so seek shelter during storms. Sleeping through a thunderstorm indoors is actually a good way to recover sanity while staying dry.

Do Endermen and the Nether cause sanity problems?

Looking directly at Endermen and traveling across dimensions both strain your sanity. Avoid staring at Endermen and be prepared with sanity recovery items before making long interdimensional trips.

Frequently asked questions

How do I see my sanity meter?

Your sanity meter appears on your HUD alongside your health and hunger bars once the mod is installed. It displays your current mental state and will show visual warnings like blur and screen shake as it drops.

What's the fastest way to restore sanity?

Sleeping in a bed is the most reliable quick recovery method. Sitting by a lit campfire also restores sanity steadily, and both methods work well after combat or time spent in darkness.

Do I lose sanity just from being in caves?

Yes—standing in complete darkness drains your sanity over time. Placing torches and other light sources slows this drain significantly, so keeping caves well-lit is essential for deep mining trips.

What happens when sanity gets really low?

Your vision blurs and shakes, unsettling sounds play, and shadow hallucinations spawn around you. These hostile shadow entities can damage you, so you'll need to either restore your sanity or fight them off.
