CbEK`s Food`s and Drink`s
by Emilheimer
CbEK's Food's and Drink's adds a thirst system to Minecraft 1.20.1 Forge, along with new drinks, foods and multi-step recipes.
What it does
Players drink to keep their thirst bar filled, and new drinks are one of the ways to do it. The mod adds a set of new foods alongside the drinks, and many of the dishes are crafted through recipes with several stages, such as preparing, cooking, waiting and cooling. Ingredients have to be gathered and handled in order, so players plan their supplies rather than eating whatever is at hand.
The additions are meant to make survival play more demanding without changing the feel of vanilla. Drink Die is one of the items in the thirst system. Because the mod runs on client and server, a server owner who installs it needs every player to have it as well. The mod is built for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge and has no files for other loaders or versions.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its files are published for Forge only, and the latest file is version 1.2 for 1.20.1, released on 2026-02-04.

How it compares
Thirst Was No More also runs on Forge for 1.20.1 on client and server, but it is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Food&Drinks is a Forge mod for 1.12.2, so it does not cover the same version as this mod. Dimension Potion is an MIT-licensed open source mod on Forge for 1.20.1 with a client and server environment, so it shares the license and version with this mod but adds a different set of potions and effects.
