Cheese
by Jaxydog
Cheese, a Fabric food mod by Jaxydog, adds cheese and cheese-based dishes such as macaroni cheese, cheese crackers and dino nuggets to the game.
What it does
The mod's items are cheese-adjacent foods: a cheese course, macaroni cheese, cheese crackers, dino nuggets, cheesy dino nuggets and a cheesy baked potato. Each one is an edible item that players can cook or craft and eat like other food in the game. The author describes the content as a small mod, and the feature list stays short.
Cheese requires Fabric API, and it bundles Lodestone inside the jar, so no separate install of that library is needed. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The mod is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, and its latest Fabric file is 1.12.0 for 1.21.9, dated 2025-10-02.
