TW‘s Decorative Food
TW‘s Decorative Food turns food items into 3D blocks that can be set down in the world and stacked into piles, while keeping their vanilla look.
What it does
Food items placed from the hand follow the same rule as ordinary blocks: holding the item and clicking a surface sets it down. Sneaking still opens the placed food for taking, and stacking never conflicts with placing. An apple can rest on a table, bread can be piled up, and a bowl of stew can sit on a counter.
The mod covers more than 45 food types, including the regular foods, golden foods, chicken, beef, mutton, porkchop and rabbit in both raw and cooked forms. Models and textures deliberately match the original pixel-art style, and the original food items remain real items that can still be eaten. The mod adds no new game rules and leaves existing gameplay as it was. It runs on client and server and needs Fabric API on every loader. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
