Bulking

A mod about insane bodybuilding

Bulking is an addon for the Diet system, inspired by Spice of Life: Valheim Edition. The main goal of the mod is to make food in the game more diverse and interesting.

Where Did My Health Go?

With this mod, you'll face a serious reduction in maximum health. Instead of the usual ten hearts, you now have only three! But don't despair - you can restore them and gain many bonuses by consuming balanced meals. In addition to the health cap reduction, natural regeneration is also disabled. It might seem too harsh, but regular eating will gradually increase your health limit. Now, like in beta Minecraft, you can heal instantly by snacking on snacks!

Meals and Snacks

All food is divided into two categories: meals and snacks.

Snacks are small portions of food that are easy to find and eat. These include apples, carrots, sweet berries, and similar items. They restore part of your health immediately after consumption, so always keep a few snacks with you - you won't have any other way to heal!

Meals, on the other hand, represent full-fledged feasts that are best eaten leisurely - for example, at home by the fireplace or around a campfire. They affect nutrition indicators, helping to restore lost health and providing other benefits! The standard Diet system provides various stat boosts and long-term effects depending on the diversity (or specialization) of your diet. Find your favorite dishes!

Digestion

Your current condition is affected not only by what you ate today, but also by your diet over previous days. If you go to sleep with a full stomach, some nutrients will be retained, helping you meet higher nutritional requirements or simply diversify your diet. The number of days taken into account and their impact on the "theoretical maximum" can be configured.

Moreover, if you go to sleep well-fed, you'll wake up incredibly refreshed! For the next 20 minutes (one in-game day), you'll enjoy the Sumptuous Feast effect that increases all stats by 10%. The list of stats enhanced by this effect is configurable via datapack - so you can boost modified parameters too!

Is It Configurable?

Yes, many aspects of the mod can be personalized. You can change the health penalty, the number of days considered in digestion, the option to keep stomach contents after death - all of this is configurable through Bulking's parameter system. Diet configurations are also respected where possible, and stomach size can be modified using commands or other mods! Additionally, food category (meal or snack) can be configured via datapacks by adding the bulking:snack tag.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I ate the wrong dish?

To clear your stomach and remove effects, you can eat rotten flesh, but be careful: it's very unpleasant, and you might suffer vomit damage.

Can I use this mod in my modpack?

Of course! The mod is distributed under the MIT license! Though, if you use it, I'd be happy to know about it.
