Vigor Feast Reborn Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Why do I only have 3 hearts when I start a new world?
Vigor Feast Reborn sets your starting health to three hearts by design. You must eat nutritious food and fill your active meal slots to gain bonus hearts and build up your maximum health pool.
How do I check how many hearts a food item gives?
Hover your cursor over any food item in your inventory to see its tooltip, which displays the health boost (in hearts) and how long the regeneration effect lasts.
Can I eat the same food twice in a row?
No—once you eat a food item, its timer becomes active and you cannot eat that same food type again until the timer expires. You must eat different foods to fill your three active meal slots.
What does rotten flesh do in this mod?
Eating rotten flesh triggers vomiting, which clears all your active food slots immediately. Use this when you need to make room for better meals or reset your nutrition.
How do cake slices work differently from other food?
Cake slices provide instant health recovery without requiring you to wait for regeneration timers to tick down, making them useful for emergency healing during or after combat.
Why did my health stop regenerating after I got hit?
The mod stops natural healing for a few seconds after you take damage in combat. Wait for the cooldown to expire and your active meal slots will resume regenerating your health.
Do I need to manage stamina or sprint differently?
No—you can sprint at all times without any running speed penalties, so sprint management works the same as vanilla Minecraft.
Does this mod work with Farmer's Delight and other mods?
Yes, Vigor Feast Reborn includes built-in compatibility with Farmer's Delight, Create, Supplementaries, and Tinkers' Construct, so foods from these mods will display nutrition stats and work with the meal slot system.
What's the best strategy for early-game survival?
Focus on finding or crafting multiple different food types to fill all three meal slots—variety is key since you cannot repeat the same food until its timer runs out. Prioritize foods with longer regeneration durations to maintain steady healing.
Can I disable the three-heart starting health or change food values?
Check your mod's configuration files for customization options, but the core mechanic of starting weak and building health through nutrition is central to the mod's design.
