I say we change the instant eat feature to eating manually as your eating in a survival world, But!!!!
For every peace of food you will not gain hearts instantly but u will gain heart slowly with the regen effect such as the steak gives you 4 hearts
We can time this as a steak gives you the regen potion effect in the exact time that it gives u 4 hearts (it will still heal slowly, 1 heart per 3 seconds) and we can have golden apples give the normal amount of regen, but! It will not have the golden hearts as manual but not intant eat...
I know dis is a suggestion but tbh this might get some people to quit-
Without instant eat I’d be dead within seconds if I opened a chest and someone got 3 extra hits on me before I closed out and couldn’t heal in time
And yuh that’s how most servers do it, but they got other speedily features like one server has mystery chests at mid and ores drop enchantment books and health, some have chests the refill and stuff, brlns special stuff is insta eat uwu
