What is Hunger Bound?

Hunger Bound is a hardcore SMP for those who crave a real test. You start with 1 heart and grow stronger by eating new foods. No easy mode here. Only the toughest will survive.

Core Features

• Max out at 42 HP (21 hearts)
• Die once and reset your progress
• Die three times and get auto-banned (ban times get longer)
• Eat the same food three times? Get hit with Hunger, Nausea, or Poison
• Eat new foods for buffs like Speed, Strength, and Regeneration
• Track your journey with a custom advancement tree
• Progress saved per world even after restarts
• World resets each season for a fresh start
