FoodBalance

About
FoodBalance is a plugin which forces players to eat balanced. The plugin differences food in 4 categories: Hydration, Carbohydrates, Proteins and Vitamins. A description of all of those will be listed down here:
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Hydration | Keep drinking! Beside the famous food-bar, there will a virtual hydration-bar. Keep hydrated by drinking milk, potions or mushroom stew to prevent getting low and dizzy. |
| Carbohydrates | A needed energy source, but keep it moderate. Too much will freak yourself out and give you extreme hunger and too little will lack yourself some much needed energy. |
| Proteins | Proteins keep yourself strong. Too much is never good, but too little will weaken you to death. |
| Vitamins | Keep yourself healthy and fit eating vitamins. Too little will cause diseases, whilst too much will cause extreme poisoning. |
The goal is to keep the the carbo/proteins/vitamins at the same level. Too much/many will freak you out with different kinds of potion-effects. In this way, this plugin forces you to not stick with only one food source (e.g. cooked steaks).
How To Install
- Download the version of FoodBalance you'd like to have on your server
- Place the .jar in the plugins folder
- You're now ready to go!
Commands/Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|

Update Checker
This plugin utilizes Gravity's update checker to notify when a new version of FoodBalance is out, it will not automaticly download the new version. It also notifies the admins (with the foodbalance permission) that a new version comes out. This can be enabled/disabled in the config.yml. To disable update-checking, set updates.check-for-updates to false. To disable admin notifying, set updates.notify-admin to false.

Contact
If you'd like to say/notice/talk or whatever to me, you can always send a PM, mail me to sugarcaneydearie@gmail.com or tweet me @CaneyDearie . This can be good stuff, bad stuff or just silly talk (I'm always in for it). My mind supports English and Dutch. If you'd like to talk German or French it can... But I can't express myself that good in those two languages and I'll probably switch over to English.

fill stats -> currently golden apples, but I will make a command :) relog -> is a nasty one. Will be considered but won't be functional upcoming updates. Adding certain items is also quite nasty for a beginning programmer as I am. If you have a plugin which adds more foods you can ask them to use the API.

Sure, water bottles actually share the same data value (373) with potions.

Posted Jun 25, 2013Add a command to fill all stats? Make it so when players relog their stats aren't reset? Add a configurable time in level decreases? Option to add certain food and food levels?

Posted Jun 24, 2013Quick question, it says to hydrate you use Potions, Milk or Stew. Do bottles of water also hydrate? And if not, is that configurable? Thanks ^^

Posted Jun 24, 2013I think a major improvement would be letting us set the values that different foods give(And let us set new foods because a lot of servers have custom food plugins/mods)

It worked completely fine on my computer, didn't test it on java 6 though. I shall update to java 7 if I were you to make sure all'll be fine :)

Posted Jun 19, 2013I downloaded the plugin and ran my server, but the plugin does not show. The .jar file is in my plugins folder but there is no file (config folder if there is one) to open. Using the commands for it yields nothing but "that command does not exist". Does this only work on Java 7? Is there a certain plugin for which this will not work with?

Posted Jun 19, 2013Nice Plugin, I had been thinking about this being in a new Minecraft Update, but this is way better! My only thoughts are that some people (kids) don't know too much about things like Glucose and Lipids and might not understand. Other than that it's fine. Maybe make another plugin that inlcudes the food pyramid

Just remove Glucose and add Lipids, so you have the main groups.

I don't think it has to be too complex, there aren't that many food to make many categories
