Chinese Foods
by alumr
Chinese Foods adds a set of classic Chinese dishes to Minecraft, as food items that players craft, cook and eat in survival play.
What it does
Chinese Foods adds several classic Chinese foods to the game, each usable as a food item for hunger and saturation. The author describes the mod as a small, early project that is still being worked on, and it currently offers a limited set of dishes rather than a full cuisine. Two items are named in the author text: bean juice and fired ring. Their recipes and effects are defined in the mod's data files, so players find them in the game rather than in a separate guide.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so the server and every player need it installed. It is built for Fabric and published for 1.20.4 only. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the project is open source, with a public source repository and issue tracker. Installation requires Fabric API on the Fabric loader. Recipe browsing in the game is handled by JEI, which the author notes is needed to look up how the foods are made.
Key features
Classic Chinese dishes
Food items modeled on traditional Chinese dishes, added alongside the vanilla food list.
Bean juice
A drink-style food item included in the mod, usable like other food items for restoring hunger.
Fired ring
A fried snack item added by the mod, obtained by crafting or cooking as set in its recipe.
Recipe lookup with JEI

Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Food-themed survival
Players who want a themed food supply in survival can add the dishes to their meals and farms.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want Chinese dishes in a Fabric world. It is also useful for server owners who want food variety on a Fabric server, since both sides run it. Players on other loaders will need a different mod.
How it compares
Too Much Food! is also a Fabric food mod, built for 1.20.4 with client and server support under the MIT License, and it is not open source. More Foods! targets 1.20.1 and is licensed All rights reserved, so it differs in version and license. GregFood covers 1.17 – 1.17.1 and is All rights reserved, so it fits older worlds instead. Chinese Foods stays on 1.20.4 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, the open source option among these.
