    I dont mind hunger bar at all, it adds to the "survival" side of the game, people need food to survive irl, as well as makes food an important resource. With the "i havent taken damage, why should i eat" system, food would pretty much become useless especially in the late game. Yeah i do agree the hunger bar pre 2016 was brutal, but since then i think it got balanced and only since then makes sprinting balanced

    I personally like the hunger system! I think it adds a new depth to the game. Potions are for healing, not food. (Potions are already undervalued, removing the usefullness of them even more by just making food heal would suck) You need food to survive, and therefore i really feel like it fits. You say the hunger makes Minecraft too easy, and in some ways that might be true, but that also takes away credence from the nature of 'surviving', which would be far easier, as you would never need to subsist on anything. If instead, we used food for 'stamina', which not only would make no sense, it would also food absolutely useless, and allow you to cheese sprinting even more it feels like. It certainly isn't perfect and has it's problems, but I think it's a good feature.
  • I like the hunger system, it just adds more to the survival experience. Like you constantly need to eat like in real life to avoid dying, sure it was annoying with sprinting. But only being able to for about a minute sorta made sure you couldn't run forever from fights always

    Seeing the old world generation before Beta 1.8 hit me with so much nostalgia
  • @derekg5674
    I’ve always liked the hunger bar. Brings more of a survival feeling to the game. Which I like.
  • @SashaMasonVR
    I personally never really disliked the hunger bar much. In some way, it feels fitting for the survival setting that it is. The instant healing food of the older versions wouldn't have been a great thing to keep around either. What would the point of potions be if you could just instant heal with food?
  • @Zerahu
    As soon as you get an elytra, hunger is literally not something to think about even cus eating while flying has no effect on gameplay at all. I've never been too upset at the hunger bar in java edition, but hunger in bedrock is severely broken and needs fixing!

    For the most part I really appreciate how well researched your videos are, while it's not possible for a single script writer to keep all bias out I think you usually do a really fantastic job of balancing your own opinions with that of the greater community. However, here I do feel you've missed the mark. You keep referring to "older players" as though the majority of people ok with the hunger system are youngsters that just started playing MC a couple of years ago and I don't agree with that. In a poll that you set on you're own twitter the clear winner was overwhelmingly that people are ok with having the hunger system in place, over 90% of people, in fact. Here, I feel you've let your own personal bias creep in and you've chosen to to use examples from the louder minority that are still upset over the hunger system. It's not perfect, but it makes complete sense in a survival game. I've been playing since beta and yes there's been up and downs with the system (notably the lack of stackable food was awful for inventory management) but I think a hunger bar deserves a place in a survival game and I think it's in a fairly decent place now. And even among older players I generally see this feedback as being the norm. I hope you don't take this as me just being mean, I genuinely enjoy your content and as someone that's been watching your videos for a while now I hope you take this as constructive criticism rather than hate, because hate certainly isn't my intention here.

    I find the old arguments against the hunger bar wierd since I've never thought of minecraft as being skill based. I always thought of it as a playground where everyone could exist equally.
  • @ibaialkezar4180
    For people who are still annoyed about hunger thers a tip: if you hit a entity (mobs, boats) just when starting to run your hunger will not run out as fast as it does normally. Check out Eliotex's video ablut this
  • @HinanawiTenko
    I never found the hunger system a real problem as an older player (1.1.2 Alpha). I just built a bigger farm and actually spent time to ranch animals, which were things I never even dabbled in the first place and actually got into Minecraft even more as a result of exploring these mechanics I had never used.
  • @InventorZahran
    I prefer the post-1.11 hunger system, as it still penalizes too much sprinting or jumping, but without being extremely annoying like it was in earlier versions. While some players may dislike the limit on how far they can sprint without eating, I see it as an incentive to use boats/horses, build a railway, or implement some other alternative transportation solution.
  • @nivdy
    I think the hunger system is working great in it's current state. if you understand how saturation works, it can be used to make for even longer periods of not needing to eat, and as such, makes food of higher quality (such as golden carrots) more worth it to eat. I think a more dynamic addition would be more characteristic of minecraft, as they don't like to remove features, but instead add onto them. This isn't the first talk about hunger in minecraft, and it wont be the last, but I really think in it's current state hunger works great.
  • @Drie_Kleuren
    No the hunger bar is perfect as it is right now. Its easy to get food, passive animails spawn everywhere. And you can also find foods in the wild: apples from trees, village farms, tresure chests and berries/melons if in the right biome...
  • @Gw4ysen
    Even though it seems like the worst feature it still gives us a challenge because we have to eat in order to survive and not just walk around infinitely without something blocking our way
  • @SteveIsHavingMC
    i think most people have gotten used to it and it doesnt need any significant changes at this point, its been a good 6-10 years since it was added/revamped after all
  • @nebula189
    Respectfully, But I completely disagree. All nostalgia aside, it makes sense to have a hunger bar, and if anything the fact we don't have a hydration bar is confusing
  • @bunnybear6109
    I genuinely didn’t know the hunger bar was this hated, but the more I think about it the more it makes sense, great vid! Keep it up!
  • I feel that turning the hunger bar into a stamina bar would stray too far from Minecraft's identity, personally I think that the saturation of foods should be increased so that your hunger would last longer after eating. And the healing from the saturation should be decreased so that it wouldn't be too op.
