Don't Starve: Moss Edition
by Black_Moss
Don't Starve: Moss Edition is a NeoForge food mod for 1.21.1 that adds edible items, cactus-based foods, drinks and a fruit knife to Minecraft.
What it does
Players gain new foods that restore hunger, including cooked and undead dishes, along with a set of drinks that can be consumed like other food. Some foods are crafted from plants and cactus, and a cactus that is stripped with an axe becomes a separate edible item. The mod also includes a fruit knife for preparing produce and an iron sword that can be used as a tool for some of the new recipes.
The mod is an unofficial remake of the food mechanics in the Don't Starve game series, and it is meant to make food gathering more convenient than in the vanilla game. Plant-based foods are considered vegetables, and cooking dishes that were not especially appetizing in the original game is also handled. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Builds exist only for NeoForge and 1.21.1, and the code is open source under the BSD 3-Clause License.
Key features
Edible items
New food items restore hunger, and some of them come from plants, cactus and cooked dishes.

A group of drinks is added as consumable items that players can use to refill hunger.
Fruit knife
A dedicated knife is added for preparing fruit and other produce in the new recipes.
Stripped cactus foods

How it compares
Everything you Could Eat is a NeoForge food mod for 1.21.1 with a separate all-rights-reserved license and no open source code. Edible moss is also NeoForge only for 1.21.1, under the MIT License without open source code. Don't Starve 4(Reborn) reaches Forge and NeoForge across 1.18.2 – 1.20.6 and is open source under the BSD 3-Clause License, so it targets a different version range.
