Create: Eat Andesite

Holding right-click on a placed andesite block while aiming at open air starts eating it, which takes about a second and a half. Each completed bite consumes one item, and creative players keep theirs. Building still works as before, because right-clicking a surface with andesite in hand places the block exactly as vanilla does without sneaking.

Each bite costs a little hunger and applies a brief dose of Slowness, so swallowing rock has a downside. The config file decides which blocks and items count as edible and how punishing a bite is. Out of the box it covers the plain andesite and polished andesite blocks. Ids are not case sensitive, and a missing namespace defaults to minecraft, so andesite means minecraft:andesite. Create packs usually want create:andesite alloy, which is also listed in the config. Items with their own use logic, such as potions, bows, tridents, milk buckets and existing food, keep their behavior and are not turned into andesite food.

The mod requires Create as a hard dependency and must be installed alongside it. Architectury API is required too. Create Fabric is required on Fabric. Eat Andesite runs on client and server, so both sides need the mod, and Create itself needs both sides as well. It works in singleplayer out of the box. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 under the MIT License, which is not open source.
