Bolussen
by Didierman
Bolussen brings the Zeelandic bolus and butterscotch into the game as craftable Dutch snack foods, and the mod is server-side only.
What it does
Bolussen adds a craftable Dutch food item to the game, named after the Zeeuwse bolus, a regional sweet from Zeeland. Its butterscotch, the Zeelandic butterscotch, is added as a second snack. Both items sit in the food category and can be crafted and eaten like other food.
In terms of hunger, one bolus restores slightly less than a steak, though its saturation is listed as better. The butterscotch restores little hunger and is meant as a small treat. The mod is server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed on the server as well.
Bolussen is published for Fabric and Forge across six release versions, with builds for 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3, 1.20.4, 1.21 and 1.21.1. The code is released under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.

How it compares
Bolussen is a server-side only Forge and Fabric food mod with builds for six game versions. Stroopwafel is another Dutch food mod, client-side only and open source under the MIT License, for Fabric on 1.20.1 – 1.20.4. No Hunger is a client and server mod for Forge and NeoForge, under All rights reserved, and it changes hunger rather than adding food.
