Delicious Foods & Tasty Drinks
Delicious Foods & Tasty Drinks adds new foods, plants, ingredients and drinks to Forge 1.16.5, with a Chef's Uniform armor set that grants experience instead of combat stats.
What it does
Ingredients come from natural plants and world blocks found across several biomes, and cooking recipes turn them into the mod's food items. Foods are sorted into three categories by how much saturation they restore: Food, with nine types that are the easiest to craft and restore the least, Snack, with nine types in the middle, and Meal, with fifteen types that take the most complicated recipes and restore the most.
Drinks and Beverages form a separate category that does not replenish food saturation. Drink-type foods sit at the simple end of the scale, with the smallest payoff, while Beverages demand the most effort and return the largest reward. Crafting an elaborate drink recipe grants experience points. The Chef's Uniform is a craftable armor set that grants experience when worn, not defense in combat.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.16.5, and the latest is version 0.0.2. The code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source. A wiki covers the new ingredients, plants, blocks and recipes.
