Eat It
by KSmc's Team
Eat It lets players eat items that are not normally food, with hunger and saturation values set in a configuration file.
What it does
Once the mod is installed, existing items can be eaten. By default an edible item restores the same hunger and saturation as an apple, but each item can be given its own values in the configuration file. Items that should not be edible can be excluded by adding their IDs to an excluded section of the same file.
Commands can also be attached to specific items. When a player consumes a configured item, the listed commands run on the game server as that player, and the display name in the player's location stays the same. A configured item that was already edible keeps its own food behaviour unless the configuration file overrides the effects of eating it.
Eat It is open source under the MIT License and is published for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1 only, as version 1.0 from 2025-01-12. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.
Key features
Hunger values per item
Each item can be given its own hunger and saturation value in the configuration file, instead of the apple default.
Excluded items
Items listed in an excluded section of the configuration file cannot be eaten, even when they would otherwise be edible.
Commands on consumption
Commands can be configured to run on the server after a player eats a specific item, with the player as the executor.
Overriding original food effects
A configured item that was already edible can have its consumption effects replaced through the configuration file.
