Food should recover health instantly

I don't mean indirectly, like saturation/full hunger meter slowly restoring your health bar. I mean eating food should restore health instantly, like in the alpha days.

This would make balancing saturation and food points a lot easier to balance, as they don't have to be so heavily tied to restoring health. You could make it so steak gives you lots of saturation and food points, but only half a heart of health, whereas an apple gives two hearts of health. It would be a simple yet effective way to re-balance all the food items.

  So basically, you want overpowered stackable instant health potions?  There's a reason they added hunger, you know.

  "Overpowered stackable instant health potions", huh? Few things:

  1. Food tends to be fairly overpowered in the first place, mostly due to saturation. Steak in particular is kinda crazy. With the saturation it gives, you can regenerate loads of health in no time.

  2. They could make it so that it doesn't insta-heal much in the first place. Perhaps 4 points of health (2 hearts) would be the max. Perhaps food like steak wouldn't heal anything at all. Even in the above example I made sure it didn't heal a ridiculous amount.

  3. They could always nerf heath restore via saturation.

  4. They could always buff instant health potions. Four hearts after standing still for what feels like forever isn't the most optimal fighting strategy. There's no reason not to use the splash potions.

  5. If it somehow IS as overpowered as you imply, they could always re-balance it.

  If that's the only reason you haven't voted, I implore you to reconsider.

  I have ab idea to marry the old and new food system: slow down healing from food, but still make it a requirement to eat, still stackable. if you want to heal quickly and (maybe almost) instantly you need to enchant your food a littlebit for instant benefit. however this is not stackable. this diversifies gameplay while keeping the new and recovering the old methods.

  -food shouldn't heal instantly, rather slowly. the heart that food will refill will be brown. it still heal fast than max hunger heal

  -saturation has been removed from the game in the latest snapshot, it should still be removed.

  -crafted food will give you all the point with ingredent

  -empty hunger meant can't sprint in normal or easy(wont lose heart). so at three point of hunger, you can still sprint(hard is the same, but you stop losing heart after half). only jump and sprint reduces hunger.

  like apple heal the most but provide little hunger, steak provide the most hunger but heal the least
