DoctorSid's Food Expansion
by DoctorSid
DoctorSid's Food Expansion reworks the kitchen with a deeper hunger system, new crops and recipes that grant buffs, and larger lists of snacks, meals and treats.
What it does
The mod adds a culinary workshop to the game. New crops and base ingredients expand what a player can grow and keep in the pantry, while a set of recipes turns them into snacks, quick bites and full-course dishes. Some of these recipes grant temporary buffs, and a hunger system gives food more weight than filling the hunger bar alone.
The mod needs Fabric API and Patchouli to run. Its code is released under the MIT License, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.8 as the release versions, with Farmer's Delight, Food Expansion: Reimagined and Just Enough Items (JEI) supported as optional companions.
Key features
Diverse snacks
Cookies, chips and other small treats can be eaten quickly, filling the hunger bar with little effort.
Hearty meals
Full-course dishes require more ingredients and cooking steps, and they grant stronger effects in return.
New crops and ingredients
Fresh crops and base items join the vanilla food list, giving the pantry more options to grow and cook.
Farmer's Delight integration
The mod works alongside Farmer's Delight, so its recipes and ingredients can be combined with that mod's cooking features.
