Harder Natural Healing gives you control of healing in your game! Fine tune your game or your modpack's challenge level to your taste!

Harder Natural Healing will make beacons, bandages, potions, healing items, and healing spells much more useful!

By default, this mod simply restores the slower healing rate minecraft used to have and adds the option to have a small heal each morning when the player wakes up.

However, Harder Natural Healing actually gives you complete control over natural healing in your game or modpack.

What Options do you have?

Do you want players to heal faster? Or Slower? You control how fast a player heals per second.

Do you want healing to use more food? Or less food? You control how much hunger healing causes.

Do you want to allow players to still heal when they are hungrier? Or to be less hungry to heal? You control how much hunger before healing stops.

Do you want players to heal when they sleep and wakeup? Or not? To heal a little or a lot after sleeping? You control how much a person heals when they wake up.

Do you want to play in Peaceful mode but want hunger to still work? And take damage (even die if you want to!) from starvation.

Commands
Users with operator level (or in creative LAN game with cheats on) can use the following commands.

type /hardernaturalhealing and then the command option. The parameters are in the brackets []. You choose one value.
0-ShowSettings displays the current settings.1-NewSettings [0 to 4] Sets multiple settings in one easy command. Settings are "easy", "normal", "harder", "superhard", "wakeup"

1-PeacefulHunger [true or false] true means the player can starve to death even in peaceful mode

1-HungerAfterDeath [ 0 to 20]

2-healingPerSecond [0.25 to 10]

2-attackHealingDelayTicks [0 to 3000] (there are 20 ticks per second. So 10 would be a half second delay, 3000 would be a 150 second delay after attacking)

2-healingExhaustionCost [0.0 to 10.0] how much food healing costs

Patron Supporters

You can support our work with Patreon. This will help since alternative modloaders do not share a portion of their advertising income with us like Curseforge.

Harder Natural Healing was supported by user Galaxy Synth for the summer and fall. Thanks for his support. He can't continue so the mod has no patron again.

Hopefully someone else will help keep it available on alternative mod loaders.
