Expression: Foods
by toastydoll
Expression: Foods adds food items to the Expression mod, including carved apples, gummy worms and rainbow sprinkles cookies.
What it does
Expression: Foods is a NeoForge content mod that adds new foods to the Expression setting. Its items include carved apples in regular, golden and enchanted forms, gummy worms, and rainbow sprinkles cookies. A carving knife is added as well, and it works on apples to produce carved apples and on pumpkins to produce carved pumpkins, through crafting.
The mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player each need it installed. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1 alone, with 1.0.4 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. The author notes that more foods are planned, but no further content is described in the current release. The code is closed: the license is All rights reserved, so the project is not open source.
Key features
Carved apple variants
Carved apples come in regular, golden and enchanted versions, each made from an apple with the carving knife.
Carving knife
A carving knife carves apples and pumpkins through a crafting recipe, producing the carved item in return.
Gummy worms
Gummy worms are added as an edible food item for players to craft or find in the mod's content.
Rainbow sprinkles cookies
Rainbow sprinkles cookies are added along with a rainbow sprinkles ingredient, extending the mod's baked goods.
