Why'd they do it? Why don't they have a gamerule to remove it?
The hunger meter is a glorified stamina bar and I've hated it from the start, it's insane how there's no option to just fucking disable it. I'd prefer going back to food being used as healing items.
You can play on peaceful mode.
It deletes mobs too, but I personally hate the combat in minecraft, I haven't encountered much that I need mob drops for, and you can get xp from mining and smelting.
>remove the only threat in the game to remove the only annoyance in the game
Mobs are annoying too though. It's not like they're fun to fight or the game has very good combat mechanics.
I'm never looking for mobs unless I want to farm em, which is rare as hell, and literally just a chore. Whenever I encounter them, it pisses me off because it's always while I'm in the middle of doing something, and It's always when I'm in a place that would disastrously fuck me up if I died because I wouldn't be able to find that spot again before my very valuable and hard to get shit despawned.
The easymode is for people like you who don't actually enjoy video games.
I would say they're both annoyances
why not just make healing potions?
i guess farming blazes isnt as interesting as hunting animals.
hunger, baby zombies, and phantoms make up the holy trinity of minecraft mechanics that only exist to reduce fun
>baby zombies
all zombies. 64-block player detection and no useful drops makes them fucking stupid. they could still serve as early-game mobs with the same range as creepers so they didnt spend the rest of their existence detecting you from miles away and coming to mildly irritate you
see also:
drowned
zombies have a 1 in fuckoff chance of dropping iron ingots, which is irrelevant unless you're farming them
also fuck drowned there's 0 fucking reason for them to hit as hard as they do, and even if you do manage to kill them the trident's droprate is miserable
why don't you fucking disable it with commands you whiny bitch holy shit have a nice day
Why do people have a problem with it? It makes the game way more dynamic
Go to inventory once every x minutes and gobble from stack, very exciting chore.
>can make an infinite food farm 1 minute after starting a new game
Whats the point?
The point is to make shitters like you seethe and crap your pants.
>dynamic
How
>dynamic
the food system in minecraft literally never deviates from "farm stacks of food (trivial) > keep hunger bar saturated"
Because it's a solved mechanic that exists to take up extra space in your inventory which is already a problem with its limited space and no end of shitty useless blocks. If food was difficult to come by it might be an understandable mechanic that could be worth exploring but it's not.
It’s only dynamic in the early game like tool durability. Once you can start making farms, it turns into a chore.
>hold right click for 3 seconds every 3 minutes
wow so dynamic
More dynamic then cs frag videos.
hunger is shit because they never did anything with it. i love cooking systems in games but minecraft's is so barebones that it only feels like a nuisance. the mods for cooking and hunger are pretty neato though.
The old system was more difficult
It's a survival mechanic in a game that stops being about survival after 10 minutes. It'd fit in fine if Minecraft had other aspects to compliment it like thirst, temperature, persisting status ailments/conditions etc but as it is it just needlessly interrupts the core gather -> build loop.
I don't have a serious problem with it for the same reason others do: it's pretty much irrelevant.
There's pretty much two possibilities with a system you're not willing to put much effort into
>it's impactful and a nuisance, thus annoying
>it's not impactful so why does it even exist
Hunger is the latter.
I consider Don’t Starve’s hunger to be the former. It’s pretty annoying early game, and mid game it’s bothersome to just eat. I guess to be fair, both Minecraft and Don’t Starve are survival games. Still, I think your description of hunger mechanics in games is spot on.
Minecraft is 90% a building/crafting/mining game and 10% a survival game, I wish they’d just remove the survival shit altogether
What is Creative
Creative makes it not feel like a game anymore. Feels less soulful and like an art program like MSpaint.
There should be a mode in between survival and creative that doesn't give you infinite of every item in the game or free flight, but doesn't make you need to eat shit every 15 minutes and maybe let's you drop down more than a couple blocks in height without exploding your legs and getting fall damage.
Unrelated, but I think they should add a grappling hook and climbing equipment. Having to just jump up slopes one block at a time makes getting around in general feel more clunky than it should be. You should be able to toggle on being able to just walk up single blocks in settings.
>Meat.
i cant be the only one who thinks hunger bars are based
they need to do what Valheim does and make specific foods give different buffs based on what you're wanting to do instead of just making a stack of cooked beef
At least they didn't add a thirst bar
don't give them ideas
They added thirst in other ways
Post more
>some 11 year old out there is beating his meat for the first time to this
I can't decide if this is more or less shameful than sone of my first faps
Kids were masturbating to undies in SEARS catalog, and later, crude cartoons.
I don't think the Sears catalog's underwear section and the likes of Jessica Rabbit are comparable to a surreally proportioned virtual lego girl
They weren't naked, either. I bet you those kids would has seen naked surreally proportioned virtual lego girl and jerk off to that

I fapped to that one animation of these minecraft girls being fucked by a horse and I'm not proud.
>you VILL eat

Why?
>Why?
Because it's survival mode.
>you VILL sleep
You can prevent the phantoms from spawning by entering 1 command into the console.
I'm on console, cuntwad.
Ah, then enjoy your suffering.
Why don't you gays just play on peaceful
>Either becomes a complete non-issue or a constant annoyance eventually throughout the course of the game
Is there ANY game that has a hunger mechanic that isn't either and actually fun to engage with?
Don't starve maybe? I mean that's sort of the point I guess. I also got sick of that game kind of quick.
Ironically starving is one of the least important threats in the game.
I don't think I've ever once died from starvation or thirst in any game with a survival mechanic now that I think about it. Just annoying busywork.
I don't think I've ever once died from starvation or thirst in the wilderness. Just annoying busywork
Valheim 100%
Not required to live, but you eat various foods to increase your stamina bar and give other buffs
It's the ideal way to handle hunger if your game has to have it
just don't run
>people still pretending this even did anything to affect the game
There was no reason to change it from just having food heal you. The rotten food poisoning you would actually matter if it was tied directly to your health. NAH FUCK IT JUST MAKE A USELESS FUCKING BAR HAHA WATERMELONS GO BRRRRRR
>gamemode creative
>you can now exist without any of those pesky gameplay elements, mechanics and rest of the humbuck like having to have item to fly.
There, was is that hard?
>survival games shouldn't have survival elements
Consuming an abundant resource that basically rains from the sky is not a survival mechanic.
REMINDER: RESIDENT EVIL 1 IS THE SURVIVAL GAME HOLOTYPE AND IT HAS NO FUCKING EATING.

It's not a real survival element, it's a fucking stamina bar. Hunger is an annoyance to stop players from sprinting everywhere and nothing more. Even with hunger Minecraft is less of a survival game now than it was in Alpha or Beta.
>reeee I have to micromanage my inventory and farms!
>reeee i have to do virtual chores instead of exploring
YES YOU moron
there is not and never has been any exploration to do in fucking minecraft.
>i want iron/gold/diamond/redstone

If you had ever played an actual survival game you'd recognize how fucking awful and tedious this is, zoomie.
This isn't the thread to unload your shitty wojak folder. Back to sharty with you, gay.
>It's not a real survival element, it's a fucking stamina bar.
>eating is not a survival element
Jesus Christ how can you be so retarded?
is not a survival element
>Jesus Christ how can you be so retarded?
In minecraft, it ISN'T a survival mechanic. It's literally just a meter that tells the player they're not allowed to sprint and halts regeneration. You can go a hundred years without eating a peck and you'll be perfectly fine, because Hunger in minecraft isn't actually hunger.
doesn't it still damage you down to half a heart?
Yes and on hard you can die of hunger. People are being dumb itt straight up lying but I haven’t played Minecraft in like a decade so idc
>WTF I HAV 2 SURVIFE IN SURVIFAL GAEM??
Yes, we saw your other comments.
JUST MOD IT OUT JESUS FUCKIN BABY
What the fuck no s
I could forgive the hunger system but it depletes way too fast
>run from you base to a friends base
>already starving
>have to eat like 3 steaks
Just thought up Terraria is basically a 2D Minecraft that went right from the beta
>No hunger bar and foods gives you buffs (and some gives debuffs)
>No sprinting, only boots that gives you sprinting (needs a bit of startup to start sprinting) and even then you can still die to normal mobs like zombies (unless you already have good armor)
>Flying is balanced
>Potions are balanced
>You have traits for accessories and weapons instead of enchantments
>Actually uses all the items in the game for useful things (plants and fungus being useful for potions, while on minecraft you can only make a soup with mushrooms)
>You can sleep on beds (and skip time) no matter the time of the day while getting health regen from it (sofas and chairs also give regeneration too)
Literally the only problem is it being 2D, which wouldn't get better if it suddenly turned into 3D since most mechanics needs it
>melee is dogshit
>2D
>limited world size
Yeah that's pretty much part of the problem with Terraria. Along with some other things like how it manages to be a bit limitating with modding
>also add pseudo-RPG mechanics so idiots compare it to terraria forever
Oh look! Its me!!!
>should of
Summer's not for a couple more weeks, junior
Sorry chudsters, the hunger bar made the game better.
Insta healing to full health in a blink of a eye is silly.
>make a game about building
>lazily implement a single survival mechanic
>all future features are based on exploration, which you can't do because you're now chained to your food farm (and the passive animal spawning bug was never fixed)
>also add pseudo-RPG mechanics so idiots compare it to terraria forever
Minecraft is easily one of the most mismanaged games of all time
wait what animal spawning bug?
>Most mobs have a spawning cycle once every game tick (1⁄20 of a second), but passive mobs have only one spawning cycle every 400 game ticks (20 seconds).
Passive mob spawns are 400x rarer than they should be and that's why you need to immediately set up farms in new worlds
That's not a bug, there would be fucking insane amounts of passive mobs if they spawned as fast as you suggest
it worked fine in beta, newfriend
consider:
you are supposed to breed animals if you want meat.
it presents a choice of quicker, yet worse food. or slower, yet better food that allows you to store more in your inventory at once.
also animals never despawn.
imagine if monsters never despawned or burned. you would eventually end up with so many monsters after a while that it would lag the game.
minecraft is just a shitty sandbox building game tbh
>"survival" mode
>only thing thats survival about it is you have health and a poorly implemented hunger bar
>world may be nearly infinite, but theres literally nothing interesting or fun to explore. 99% of things are just either copy-pasted structures or wacky worldgen bugs
>none of the structures have cool or interesting loot
>enchantments can be cheesed with villagers, making enchantment tables completely useless
>you are forced to sleep for some fucking reason
>combat is and always has been literal shit
unironically, if there was an ACTUAL survival sandbox game with actual good mechanics and fun exploration i'd probably play the hell out of it unfortunatly it doesnt exist. the closest we will ever get to a good sandbox survival game is unfortunatly either dont starve or 7 days to die but my problems with them is basically:
>dont starve
>combat is horrible, worse than minecrafts
>after you obtain gear to survive winter and a good food source all thats left to do is fight meaningless bosses with the shitty combat
>7 days to die
>nothing cool or interesting to find or explore, buildings are boring copy-pasted bs
>leveling skills gets annoying as hell late game
>game is shit single player, with the gameplay loop revolving around doing the same boring quests over and over
terraria doesnt count because it is a 2d sandbox rpg and has nothing to do with survival
minecraft is a blank slate for modders to make real games with
>7 days to die
enjoy your game mechanics getting fucking destroyed and rewritten every 3 months for the next 10 years because they remove nofun zombie loopholes instead
t. a13 to a20
Tlauncher or SKlauncher?
I heard Tlauncher has spyware
PolyMC because the dev told trannoids to fuck off.
hunger bar sucks but beta healing food is just as annoying because it clutters up inventory like crazy, there's not any mods that change the hunger mechanics either
what would (you) do to fix it?
based, got a link?
https://polymc.org/
Hunger has pretty much always been a worthless mechanic.
Cooking food should be a way to obtain special buffs.
>play survival
>lose interest because all the survival mechanics are just annoying
>play creative
>lose interest because there's no challenge
I think Minecraft just sucks honestly
Minecraft turned to shit the moment they introduced it. And when they allowed Food to be stackable. That really spelled the end for the """survival""" aspect the game now pretends to have.
You can always tell that someone is a post-release fag when they shit on hunger. Needing to dedicate a third of your inventory to unstackable food to go caving was fucking annoying. Sprinting was a very good quality of life improvement. If you say hunger is bad, you never played beta.
>Needing to dedicate a third of your inventory to unstackable food to go caving was fucking annoying.
Imagine getting hit
NTA but the spider's hitboxes are criminally large
you don't need a hunger bar to enable stackable food and sprinting
These features were all added in the same update. They also couldn't really be split, because being able to stack instant healing items would be overpowered.
Being able to bring 64 of any healing item removed all the tension.
They would if they were instant, but they're not, they just confer a moderate regen, you still have to escape danger to avoid being killed
>12+ years and still seething
most of you fags grew pubic hair and you're still mad just mod it out already
the hunger bar is objectively bad game design. funny how it was one of the first things added after jeb took over.
It always annoys me when minecraft fags brag about there game being so good and perfect because you can do anything or play it anyway you want when vast majority of the stuff you can do and ways to play it is boring as fuck
>survival
Boring and tedious and never got better with any updates and hardly anything interesting to find in the open world
>combat/pvp
Usally boils down to mashing the attack button the fastest and having the highest number armor
>other shit like parkour or horror maps
Every one's of these I've played have been mediocre or shit and if you really felt like playing a horror game why would you play random minecraft maps instead of playing a real horror for free off itch.io it will be a much better experience
>Usally boils down to mashing the attack button the fastest and having the highest number armor
To be fair, flint and stone, fishing Rod, and bow were game changers too back then.
it upgrades it. I would add water meter and sleep meetr with temperature meter and some other borrowed from botw. we need to be hardest game as possible to make it more interesting and make zoomer seethe and dilate
what about a fingerless glove meter?
>Want some sort of realism to Hispanice things up.
>But it also feels like I am more working than playing.
I stopped playing "survival" memes altogether.
And they are even sims.
Hunger is lame and doesn't add anything substantial but the fact that you're still complaining about it like a decade later is pretty telling.
whatever the fuck the hunger bar is these days, it used to be playable and an incentive to farm food.
last few times I've tried to play the game it's been a massive pain in the ass.
i dont really mind hunger since salmon were added to rivers. but thats just like people have been saying, having animals not respawn was a mistake.
The game was literally perfect before they added that fucking shit
I genuinely don't fucking understand its purpose
i wish normal forests had as much food in them as mega spruce biomes.
berry bushes and mushrooms all over the damn place.
all they need to do is make apples visible and minable
just let me eat the leaves
A hunger system is just boring in general. I recently did a terraria run using the dst seed (which adds a hunger mechanic amongst other things) and it feels pointless. You smash some trees to get fruit, defeat the first boss to unlock the dryad npc and get infinite food via pumpkin seeds, which last you until the endgame. I hate been forced to eat food every 3 seconds.
