Block Foods
by DeonsGaming
Block Foods lets players turn everyday blocks such as dirt, stone and wood into edible food, from quick snacks to full meals.
What it does
Players test different blocks to see which ones turn into tasty items, and the result can be a simple snack or a more complex meal.
The mod suits stranded players, explorers of new biomes and anyone who wants to keep their character fed by other means. Choosing the right block to convert depends on need: fast sustenance or a larger meal. Block Foods is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the environment is server-side only, so players join without installing it. The license is custom and the code is not open source. The latest Forge file is 1.0.1 for 1.20.1, released 2025-05-16.

Common blocks like dirt, stone and wood can be converted into food items that restore hunger.
Snacks and full meals
Converted blocks produce quick snacks or larger meals, depending on the block chosen.

Use cases
Stranded or exploring players
A player stuck on an island or crossing new biomes can turn nearby blocks into food instead of searching for animals or crops.
Varied survival playthroughs
Players who want a change from standard food sources can rely on converted blocks to shape how they gather and prepare meals.
Who it’s for: Players who run survival worlds and want food to come from the blocks around them. Server owners who want to offer this option need only install the mod on the server.
How it compares
Cheesy Foods n' Stuff is a Forge food mod for 1.20.1 that requires both client and server, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Ar's Food is also Forge-only for 1.20.1, with client and server needed, under All rights reserved. Block Foods differs in that it is server-side only and turns existing blocks into food rather than adding new food items.
