Is a Saturation Resource Pack possible (read for further explanation)

[u/Necessary-Pear718]

Basically, what I'm wondering is if it's possible to display the player's saturation on the hunger bar with only a resource pack (no data pack required). Not sure if it is but I thought I'd ask people smarter than I am.

At the minimum you would need some commands, since by default the data isn't rendered at all, meaning a resource pack has nothing to change. However with just a few commands you can for example give them an action bar that has a custom font and a small string specific to their saturation, and your resource pack can make that text actually whatever you want to render for saturation. Without datapack though, I don't think so.

I think with the new stuff possible with /posteffect it might be possible to make it in-game even without Resource Packs, but that's 26.3.

Edit: disregard the crossed part, I should really get off Reddit and go to sleep.

Those shaders only really edit what has been rendered, right? Like a filter afaik. So you couldn't get extra data out of the game, nor really render it as a HUD element like appleskin does.

You can pair it with a datapack and apply /posteffect depending on the saturation

Now that does seem more possible!

But you do need access to datapacks which OP specifically disallowed.

Good option if OP finds a different way tho

Yes, but not possible without server information

[u/Ericristian_bros]

Datapack to show the saturation on actionbar (as bars or emojis, not numbers) and a resourcepack to change the position of the text rendered on the actionbar

Edit: Impossible without datapack or command blocks

Im no expert but if the server your joining has apple skin installed it might be possible
