it would be awesome if we had a config option to disable the hp changes.

I mostly want this because switching to something with low hp (such as a fish) and then back to yourself, requires the player to eat a lot of food to heal back up... which sucks.
you also cant take hits as most mobs, so theres that too.

A config option already exists for that. Set scalingHealth = false in the Identity config to disable the changed max health behavior.

i see!
is it possible for mod menu integration then? i didnt even realize there was a config
