No matter what permission I use, health spawns at 100. Food and Water adjust according to the config.
Health Stuck At 100
Will give it a poke and see why it's not adjusting correctly anymore.
That was a "problem" a few years ago so i leave health at 100, water at 250 and food at 500 and works great.
