Better Apples
by rosarian
Better Apples changes how an apple is eaten on Fabric, replacing the single bite with a staged sequence of right-clicks.
What it does
Right-clicking an apple with the mod moves it through three stages, from a whole apple to a partly eaten one, then a half eaten one and finally a mostly eaten one. The last right-click leaves a compostable apple core. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Two game versions have files, 1.20.4 and 1.21, with the latest Fabric file built for 1.21, and the code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so it is open source.
Key features
Staged bites
An apple passes through three partly eaten states instead of disappearing after one use.
Compostable core
The final right-click leaves an apple core that can be placed in a composter.
Eating in one go
A player can still finish the whole apple at once if preferred.

What the author says
Upon right-clicking with an apple, you will go through 3 stages of the apple being eaten- partially eaten, half eaten and mostly eaten. When you right click with a mostly-eaten apple, you will be left with a compostable apple core!
