Bread Variants
Bread Variants adds several kinds of bread that grant timed status effects when eaten, from health boost to absorption.
What it does
Each bread is crafted from its own recipe, and eating it applies a status effect for a set time. Diamond Bread gives a health boost for 10 minutes, Redstone Bread gives regeneration for 10 minutes, and Obsidian Bread gives fire resistance for 30 minutes. Prismarine Bread gives water breathing for 30 minutes, Iron Bread gives strength for 10 minutes, and Gold Bread gives haste for 10 minutes.
Green Bread gives the luck effect and the hero of the village effect for 10 minutes, and Ender Bread gives absorption for 10 minutes. The mod has to be installed on the client and on the server, so every player and the server need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with the 1.0.5 build for 26.2 as the latest file across all three loaders.
