Concoction!
by woofyboo
Concoction changes how food works in NeoForge 1.21.1, giving each food its own flavor effect so that even overlooked foods have a use.
What it does
Concoction overhauls the food system while keeping the feel of vanilla Minecraft. Instead of penalizing a player who eats the same food repeatedly, the mod gives each food its own niche effect. Many foods carry distinct flavors, and each flavor affects gameplay in a different way: some favor combat, some favor farming or mining, and some help during building. The mod is aimed at players who want food to matter beyond filling a hunger bar, and it is intended to add exploration and an element of grinding to the experience.
Concoction stands apart from other food mods, pursuing separate aims instead of extending a different project. Its author has noted that a Farmer's Delight compatibility layer is planned, while also saying the mod is meant to stand alone. Concoction is published for NeoForge only, across four release versions: 1.20.4, 1.20.6, 1.21 and 1.21.1. Its environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Food flavors
Foods carry flavors that change how they affect the player, so the choice of what to eat has in-game consequences.
Flavor-based effects
Some flavors favor fighting, others favor farming or mining, and some help during building.
Overlooked foods gain value
Foods that players rarely eat get their own effects, so they remain useful choices instead of being skipped.
Vanilla-style presentation
The changes stay close to the original look of vanilla food, so the game keeps its familiar feel.
