Edible Rotten Flesh for Fabric
by IDK_Modding
With Edible Rotten Flesh for Fabric, rotten flesh dropped by zombies can be cooked into a food item that is safe to eat.
What it does
Raw rotten flesh can be placed in a furnace, a smoker or on a campfire, and the result is Cooked Rotten Flesh. Unlike the raw item, the cooked version carries no hunger effect. Cooking the drop yields a food item that refills 2.5 hunger bars and adds a bit more saturation than eating it raw, so the common zombie loot becomes worth keeping early on.
The mod is aimed at survival play, particularly the first stretch before farming is established, and at zombie apocalypse modpacks where food is scarce. Installation is needed on both sides, since the environment is client and server, and the mod is published for Fabric only, released under the MIT License and not open source. Files cover 1.20.1, 1.21 and 1.21.1, and the latest file is 1.0-1.21 for 1.21.1.
