Cherries, The Forbidden Fruit
Cherries, The Forbidden Fruit adds a new fruit to Forge 1.20.1, with food items, a golden variant, a crafted pie and a placeable cake-style pie.
What it does
The fruit is a food item. Eating one restores one hunger point and half a hunger shank. Because real cherry pits are poisonous, eating five has a 25% chance of giving Poison for five seconds. Cherry Leaves have a 25% chance to drop when broken, which is the way the fruit is first gathered. The golden variant is crafted from one cherry surrounded by eight gold nuggets on a crafting table. Eating it restores four hunger points and two shanks. Eating five golden cherries has a 10% chance of giving Nausea for five seconds, and a brewing stand can turn the effect into Nausea potions. Golden cherries also drop from Cherry Leaves at a 1% chance when broken.
The mod adds a Cherry Pie made from cherries, one egg, one sugar and one wheat on a crafting table, and a Golden Cherry Pie that swaps the cherry for a golden one. The pie is placeable like a cake, with four slices; each cherry slice gives three hunger points and the listed shanks, while a plain slice gives one point and 0.5 shanks.
