Frequently asked questions

How do I get started with Spice Of Life Onion?
Craft a Food Book first — it's your main tool for seeing which foods you've eaten and how your variety is holding up. After that, make a Lunchbox or Lunchbag so you can carry multiple meals with you instead of eating the same thing repeatedly.
What does the Food Book actually do?
The Food Book records every food you eat and shows you how many different foods you've consumed recently. Open it to check your current variety status before your hearts start draining.
Why am I losing hearts when I eat?
Spice of Life Onion reduces your max health when you eat the same food repeatedly instead of varying your diet. Eat a wider range of different foods to restore your hearts back to normal.
What's the difference between a Lunchbox and a Lunchbag?
Both let you carry multiple food items in one slot, but they differ in how many stacks they hold. The Golden Lunchbox is the upgraded version with more capacity than the standard Lunchbox.
How do I put food into a Lunchbox or Lunchbag?
Open the lunchbox or lunchbag like a container and place food items into its slots. You can then eat directly from it without needing the food in your hotbar.
How many different foods do I need to eat to keep my hearts?
The exact number depends on your configuration, but the general rule is the more variety, the better. Check your Food Book to see your current variety count and whether you're at risk of losing hearts.
Does eating the same food in different forms count as variety?
Each distinct food item counts separately, so a cooked steak and a raw steak are different entries. However, eating the same item repeatedly will still penalize you — you need genuinely different foods.
How do I change how strict the food variety rules are?
The mod's configuration file lets you adjust how many foods count toward variety and how harshly repeated foods are penalized. Check the configuration section of the wiki for the specific options available.
Does Spice Of Life Onion work with food from other mods?
Yes, foods from other mods are generally tracked by the Food Book and count toward your variety just like vanilla foods. If a modded food isn't being tracked, it may need to be added to the mod's food list in config.
Will this mod hurt my performance on a server?
Spice of Life Onion is lightweight — it mainly tracks food consumption per player and doesn't add heavy world generation or ticking blocks. Performance impact is minimal even on populated servers.
