Nutritional Value

Spice of Life is the mod that tracks nutritional value of food. It does so by tracking the last 14 items that you consumed and totally up the nutritional value of each unique item. If all you eat is peanuts (which have a nutritional value of 1) your nutirition will only be 1 and you will get no benefits. If You consume 14 unique raw vegetables and fruits, your nutritional value will be 14 which will give you 5 bonus hearts and a permanent strength effect. It's worth it to consume a variety of food, even if it's uncooked.

If you consume only a variety (a full 14 different items) of top tier food, you will receive 11 bonus hearts, a tier 2 strength effect, speed, regeneration, and increased armor toughness. Actually, to get these maximum benefits you only need to consume food that has an average nutrition of 2.5.

You can see your current nutrition with the Spice of Life Food Book, crafting using a book and a potato.

You will receive the following benefits at the following nutrition values:

• 3: An Extra heart
