Cryonic
by kanpov
Cryonic is a Fabric food mod for Croptopia that tracks how long food and drinks last before they rot or go overdue.
What it does
Cryonic adds food rot and overdue timers to the food and drinks of the Croptopia addon, so a player can see when an item has spoiled. The author describes the mod as a way to keep track of items that would otherwise be forgotten in an inventory. It is aimed at players who want decay and freshness to matter in survival play.
Cryonic runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Both builds, 1.17.1 and 1.18.1, are published for Fabric only, with the alpha-channel file for 1.18.1 as the latest release. Croptopia is required, and the author lists further mods the setup depends on. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Food rot
Food from the Croptopia addon gains a rot timer, so spoiled items are visible before they are eaten.
Overdue food
Food that has passed its freshness window is marked as overdue, keeping stale stock simple to spot.
Overdue drinks
Drinks follow the same overdue timing, so bottled and mugged items are tracked alongside solid food.
Dehydration compatibility
The author notes that the experimental Croptopia Dehydration addon works alongside Cryonic for a more realistic setup.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Survival food tracking
Players who carry crops and cooked meals for long trips can check which stock has started to rot.
Server pantries
Server owners running Croptopia can use the overdue marks to keep shared food stores in order.
Who it’s for: Players who use the Croptopia addon on Fabric and want food to spoil over time. It suits survival worlds and multiplayer servers that already run the required mods.
How it compares
Croptopia's Chocolaterie is a Fabric addon for 1.17.1 – 1.19 under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it adds chocolate rather than rot tracking. Rotting Food is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.10 under the Apache License 2.0 and handles spoilage in a newer version range. Cryonic covers only 1.17.1 and 1.18.1, so it does not overlap their version range.
