I don't want bother you but of curse I do... sorry for that.
I play 1.11.2 until 1.12.x becomes more stable with a bigger amount of mods and until my favorites become available for 1.12+
I love "Hunger Overhaul" and it's a great addition for a more challenging survival gameplay. But in 1.11.2 the hunger drain mechanics have changed to a much slower loss. So I don't really need farming yet.

I installed Spice of Life because it's available for 1.11.2. and promised a bit more challenge. Unfortunately it has no options against the very slow hunger drain.

Do you have plans to integrate HO into Spice of Life (because it's till 1.11.2/1.12) or do you prefer to upgrade HO anytimes?

I'm not familiar with programming in any way. So I don't know how many work is needed in order to get all configuration options for hunger drain and saturation and several mod compatibility options in function.

I forget where i found the link but i found a unofficial build of it for 1.11.2 that works perfect
