Comfort · Kzeroko's Workshop

Comfort is a value from 0 to 100 attached to your character. It moves with your environment, your meals, your sleep and the damage you take, and it pays back in three places: how fast you move, how fast you break blocks, and how quickly you get hungry.

The three bands

Band	Range	Movement	Block breaking	Hunger exhaustion
Painful	0–40	−20% base	×0.90	×1.50
Normal	41–70	—	—	—
Relaxed	71–100	+20% base	×1.10	×0.50

The gap between Painful and Relaxed is a 40% swing in movement speed and a 3× difference in how fast you burn through food.

The Comfort meter in the KTM2 HUD, showing the current value and recent meals — Comfort and your recent meals are both readable from the HUD.

Natural change

While Comfort is above 0 it is re-evaluated every 1200 ticks (60 seconds). Each evaluation removes 1 point, then applies an environment correction clamped to −5 … +1.

In the best possible surroundings that +1 cancels the −1 exactly, so Comfort stops falling when you are somewhere good. At worst you lose 6 points a minute.

What the environment checks

Shelter near your spawn point offsets the loss — this is the “home” case.
Standing in rain adds a penalty.
Snow without full armour adds a penalty.
The Nether adds a penalty.

When Comfort is frozen

Comfort does not change at all while you are:

in Creative or Spectator mode;
asleep in a bed;
under Farmer’s Delight comfort.

Nourishment slows the clock

Farmer’s Delight nourishment multiplies the evaluation interval by 1.5, so it becomes one evaluation every 90 seconds instead of every 60.

Food

Every food item can carry a signed Comfort value, positive or negative. Two rules decide what it is finally worth to you:

Repetition dulls positive food. Your last six meals are remembered. A dish gives 100% of its positive Comfort the first time it appears in that history, then 70%, then 40%, then 10%. Negative Comfort is never reduced by repetition — spoiled stew is always spoiled stew.
Well-made food is worth cooking. A dish with a WellMadeFood.Bonus of 1–3 scales its positive Comfort by 1 + 0.33 × level, and divides negative Comfort by the same factor.

Damage and sleep

Taking damage removes Comfort on a logarithmic curve that accounts for your maximum health, capped at 20 points per hit. A glancing blow costs little; nearly dying costs a lot.

Waking from sleep restores up to 30 points, limited to 70% of what you are missing. Sleeping at 20 Comfort gives you back 30; sleeping at 65 gives you back far less. Sleep is a recovery tool, not a reset button.

Fate Balance interactions

Two Fate Balance temperaments change how Comfort behaves for you:

Fate	Recovery	Loss	Natural decay
`optimistic_nature`	×1.20	×0.80	×0.80
`pessimistic_nature`	×0.80	×1.20	×1.25

Two appetite fates change your maximum hunger instead, which interacts with the hunger-exhaustion column above:

Fate	Max hunger	What it means
—	20	Standard reserve
`hearty_appetite`	26	30% more reserve before starvation
`birdlike_appetite`	14	Fills sooner, 30% less reserve

For datapack authors

Food values are loaded from data/<namespace>/comfort_level/*.json as a flat map of item id to signed integer:

{
  "minecraft:bread": 3,
  "example:spoiled_stew": -8
}

Unknown and non-food items are ignored with a warning. Duplicate item entries are resolved by deterministic identifier order, later ids winning. The resolved registry is synchronised to clients whenever datapack contents reload.

To generate a baseline for every registered food:

/ise dev dumpFoodComfort

The result is written to config/isekaiseries/ktm2foodcomfort.json.
