Better Food+
Better Food+ brings a set of Fabric food items to Minecraft 1.21.8, with foods that change hunger, saturation and status effects.
What it does
Better Food+ is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.8 that adds new food items to the game. Each food has its own stack size and effect: some restore saturation, some grant regeneration or fire resistance for a few seconds, and one removes the hunger effect after it is eaten. Healthy Carrot, Toasted Bread, Spiced Apple, Ender Stew, Mushroom Pie, Dehydrated Cactus, Frozen Melon, Glazed Beetroot and Golden Potato are among the added items.
The mod is aimed at survival players who want a wider food pool than vanilla offers. Dehydrated Cactus gives a food source in deserts, and Ender Stew is a way to recover a large number of hunger bars from the End. The mod runs on the client and on the server, so the server and every player need it. Fabric API is required and must be installed alongside it. The mod is published for 1.21.8 only, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Regeneration and fire resistance foods
Healthy Carrot grants regeneration for 5 seconds and Spiced Apple grants fire resistance for 10 seconds, with stacks of 16.
Hunger-clearing food
Glazed Beetroot removes the hunger effect from the player who eats it, and it stacks up to 64.
Saturation-focused items
Toasted Bread and Mushroom Pie give more saturation than their vanilla counterparts, so they restore more food value per bite.
Desert and End foods
Dehydrated Cactus is a food source found in deserts, and Ender Stew restores a large number of hunger bars.
Frozen Melon effect
Eating a Frozen Melon applies the frozen effect for three seconds, and its saturation is higher than that of a plain melon slice.
