What it does

Kibble items come in five tiers, Dry, Basic, Simple, Regular and Superior, plus Exceptional and Extraordinary at the top. Each tier restores a fixed amount of hunger, from 2 for Dry Kibble up to 8 for Extraordinary Kibble, together with a saturation value that rises from 20% to 120% across the tiers. Players eat kibble the way they eat other food.

Kibble can also be fed to mobs. The author states that taming with kibble depends on the mob data pack that is set up for it, so mobs will only accept kibble once a matching pack is in place. The author notes that JEI is needed to look up the recipes, and that the course for this is still planned.

The mod is for Forge on Minecraft 1.18.2 only. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Five kibble tiers

    Dry, Basic, Simple, Regular and Superior kibble each restore a set amount of hunger and saturation.

  2. Top-tier kibble

    Exceptional and Extraordinary kibble restore 7 and 8 hunger with saturation of 100% and 120%.

  3. Eating kibble

    Kibble is eaten like other food items, restoring hunger and saturation when used.

  4. Feeding and taming mobs

    Kibble can be fed to mobs, and taming with it depends on the mob data pack, which the author says must be made.

Questions

Which loader does Ark Kibble use?

Ark Kibble is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.18.2. No Fabric or NeoForge file is listed.

Does a server need Ark Kibble installed?

No. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so the server can run without it and players can join without it.

What does taming with kibble need?

The author says taming mobs with kibble needs a data pack that the player creates, and that kibble is allowed to tame mobs only once that pack is set up.
