Work as a team or alone in this race against hunger. You spawn with a set amount of energy and full health, but nothing in the world gives you food and you don't regenerate health. How are you going to conserve your energy and health and your one life on the way to defeating the Ender Dragon? Find out for yourself! Here's how the game works:

1. Everything in the world that gives you food has been edited so as to not give you food. Apples don't drop from trees, pork doesn't drop from pigs, villages don't generate with farms. All of these items are unobtainable:

2. The only way to regenerate health is with regeneration potions. You can make as many of them as you like, as long as you don't have the Forbid Potions gamerule on. Speaking of Gamerules, these are the rules you can edit before the game begins:

1. When new players join the server, do they spectate or do they play too?

2. Eternal Day

3. Eternal clear weather

4. All zombies are replaced with husks.

5. Blaze spawn naturally in the basalt delta. This could be to your advantage, since finding a nether fortress could be difficult.

6. Forbid potions. All potions, splash potions and lingering potions are forbidden.

7. Constant night vision.

8. Edit the start energy. When you spawn in a new world, you always spawn with 100% energy. You can edit this to be as low as 40% or as high as 160%.

9. Difficulty. Easy, normal, or hard. Starving to death still happens whatever difficulty you pick.

3. The only way you'll be successful is knowing what costs energy and what doesn't. Here's a rundown on how Minecraft does hunger:

There's a handy table at https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Hunger#Exhaustion_level_increase, but it's not as in-depth as this:

     * These actions cost energy (Units are in exhaustion cost, 1 Energy= 0.001 exhaustion):
         * Breaking a block (0.005 per block)
             * Any block, regardless of if it's a flower or obsidian
             * Using the wrong tool so that nothing drops (eg. Using a gold pickaxe to break diamond ore) will NOT cost hunger.
         * Swimming in water
             * Swimming, both non-animated swimming and animated swimming (0.01 per meter)
             * Touching the bottom of a body of water and pressing jump, regardless of if that moves you (0.05 per instance)
         * Jumping
       * Non-sprint jump (0.05 per jump)
             * Sprint jump (0.2 per jump)
         * Sprinting (0.1 per meter)
         * Melee attacking (0.1 per successful attack, regardless of how charged it is)
         * Taking damage that is normally protected by armor, including cactus damage (0.1 per instance of damage received)
         * Getting hit by a husk (3.1, that's Hunger I over 30 seconds at 0.1 per second + an instance of damage)
         * Climbing (Ladders, scaffolding (WITH shifting), swamp/jungle vines, weeping vines, and twisting vines all share the same rules. Scaffolding (WITHOUT shifting) has its own rule.)
             * Starting to climb up a ladder/vine/etc from a solid block without shifting (0.05 per instance)
             * Getting off a ladder/vine/etc from the top, regardless of if you shift (0.05 per instance)
             * Getting off a ladder/vine/etc mid-way climbing up a ladder/vine/etc, while touching a non-ladder/vine vertical face. (0.05 per instance)
             * Climbing up scaffolding without shifting (0.05 per block climbed up)
             * Climbing is so costly and random because of a coding quirk where all these instances are technically "jumps". This means all these instances will cost quadruple if you're sprinting while you do them.

     * These actions do NOT cost energy:
       * Placing blocks.
         * Normal walking.
         * Crawling.
         * Swimming in lava:
             * Does NOT consume energy, however, if you "sprint", it will cost energy even though you are not going any faster.
             * Standing on the bottom on a lava pool and jumping still counts as a jump.
        * Using any projectile weapon.
        * Rowing a boat, surprisingly.
        * Riding a horse, pig or strider.
        * Crafting and GUI interactions.
        * Lighting TNT.
        * Climbing a ladder/vine/etc (as long as you don't do any of the random actions listed above)
        * Climbing down scaffolding.

4. You can always see your energy on the actionbar, so you always know exactly how far away you are from starvation!
