The hunger bar is just kinda pointless. If he's gonna make Minecraft realistic, he should work on map generation, or new mobs, or waterfalls, or animal breeding, or something. Rather than making the game way harder than it should. I wish he would make it on normal or hard, and not easy.

Edit: I meant waterfalls as in big, whooshing falls that make water mist at the bottom, not little streams. And also, I think my problem gathering food also has to do with the fact that I don't really like killing mobs, and I only do when I have to.

I see nothing wrong with hunger. In my opinion, the game is still too easy, even on hard. Also, he has been working on aforementioned things. Terrain, or new mobs, or animal breeding. This is just my opinion, and I understand that you disagree.

Well he did work on map generation, it's much better now. He did add new mobs. Waterfalls are already in the game. Animal breeding is being worked on now, as well as plenty of something.

How does it make it hard? I can gather enough food on my first minecraft day with ease to last me several game days, and gathering more is very easy. The fact that it stacks makes it more convenient to carry a large supply too.

For me, food is easy to get. In fact, I don't the hunger bar is that much of a challenge. It doesn't deplete that much at all.

Or, you can play on creative.


Grug: Try downloading Mo Creatures. The are nothing compared to the new monsters that it introduces.

I think hunger sometimes makes the game easier, because when you're full of food, you regenerate health pretty quickly. Either way, I like eating stuff in minecraft. Maybe he can add puking to the effects of being poisoned. O:

No it doesnt make the game harder, it balences the gameplay pretty well. Now you cant spend hours at a time mining or spending your life underground. Now your minecraft character can get a tan :biggrin.gif:

Well then make a farm. It shouldn't take too long to get a big stack of bread. They're kinda fun to make, actually. Try to make it an auto-harvesting one for extra coolness! Or you can make an auto-harvesting mushroom farm that you don't have to replant between harvests (the only downside of wheat).

Personally I think hunger hasn't made the game harder at all. To me, it's basically just a task I have to perform every so often to keep playing the game. The biggest change it's made, other than making me more cavalier about fall damage, is that now I can't AFK from the keyboard as long as I'm standing somewhere safe (because I always play on Hard and I'll die if I leave).

Yeah, I guess I could switch to Normal while I did that... So, yeah...

Not another one of these threads. Here let me just some this up for some people HUNGER BAR IS NOT THAT DEMANDING! yes it makes the game slightly harder but still it's really not that hard. And I don't understand why nobody wants challenge in a game. It just doesn't make sense.

Hunger isn't an issue. If you find a forest, mushrooms grow pretty much everywhere. Swamps too.

Just save a brown and a red mushroom and either go kill skeletons at night or wait for them to die by day. Get one bone, turn it into bonemeal, and grow a red and brown mushroom. Chop each down. You've just turned 1 of each into approximately 15-20+ of each

At that point, make some bowls and eat. Totally renewable source of food for not a whole lot of effort. Easily doable before wheat will ever grow or in leiu of there being no animals to butcher.

How is it hard to keep a full stomach? there is food all over place! Mushrooms stews, wheat (make a farm and your set forever), beef, pork, chicken. Is it really that hard? It barely makes anything harder if you know how to get crap loads of it (Which is not hard to do). It's better for gameplay.

This is actually my issue with the hunger bar: It isn't challenging in the slightest. And yet that's supposedly the justification for adding it? Because Minecraft is too easy? Well how did it help? I don't see it. I guess preventing insta-healing from food made makes it easier to die if you get swarmed by mobs, but on the other hand, the total amount of healing you can get from a stack of food is vastly higher than you could from singular food items. And the most dangerous times for me were when I was down to a small amount of hearts and was out of the 3 pork chops I'd brought with me so there was no possibility of healing. Now, modern-FPS-style healing is going to always be available.

So, I'm not impressed. But not complaining. I guess it adds a little atmosphere. My wheat farm feels slightly more loved since there's at least a chance I might eat some bread at some point. :tongue.gif:

I find the hunger issue quite annoying. It's just another thing to do when I'd rather be doing all the other things I'm already doing, which are the integral activities of the game, i.e. mining, building, exploring and surviving sinister mobs. Sure, having a 'full belly' heals you, but so what? It kind of defeats the purpose of adding a need to eat. It cancels itself out.

If I want to eat I'll pause the game, go downstairs and make a sandwich. Minecraft is a computer game and that's what I paid for. I think there is just so far that a developer needs to approach reality, and I don't think a computer game is that place, unless the game is about hunger and eating, which I've always thought this was not about. I wonder when it'll end? How would players of other games react if their favourite games added in annoying sideline activities?

What would you think if our characters had to go to the toilet?

At the very least, there should be an option to turn this function off.

I think you might need an extended 50 step version of " How to stop complaining a like ***** "

Read the 25 steps , if you cant do it , i can make it more detailed

Step 1 : press W
step 2 : now press E
step 3 : You found tall grass
Step 4 : click
Step 5 : destroy the tall grass
etc.

If you guys really have so much problems you need that much detail on a tutorial , then i will explain it , probably in 5000 steps , but you will learn.

I SWEAR that after reading my guide to stop complaining like a ***** you will stop complaining.

Finding food is easy enough. I usually can live off mushrooms alone. Spend your first day finding one red mushroom and one brown mushroom. Now, all you need is a bone, which are fairly common to find in the morning. More is better. Now, bonemeal your mushrooms. Destroy the resulting trees, and now you have plenty of mushrooms for your mushroom stew. Repeat as necessary. Food should never be a problem again.
