Asian Food
by terrael
Asian Food, a Forge food mod by terrael, adds a Chef villager profession that sells Asian-inspired dishes and drinks, plus foods with timed potion effects.
What it does
Players who visit a village can find a new Chef villager. Once a nearby villager is assigned the Chef profession with the Chef's Stove, that villager sells a range of Asian-inspired foods and drinks, including sushi, ramen and bubble tea.
Several foods carry effects. Some grant a short burst of speed, jump boost, regeneration or luck, while others cause slight nausea alongside a short regeneration. Eating one of the foods can also print a random wisdom message to chat. A chestplate-slot item gives the wearer a 15% chance of a random positive effect when they are hit.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it and every player on a server running it must install it too. It is published for Forge only, across six release versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and the latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.6. The code is not open source; it is licensed as All rights reserved.
