Flavor Framework
by Kleeb
Flavor Framework adds eight kinds of fruit, several juices and a set of food items that extend the vanilla food list for NeoForge players.
What it does
Eight new fruits join the game, and two of them come in a variant form. Each fruit is found by breaking leaves of a particular vanilla tree, such as orange from acacia leaves, lemon from birch leaves, banana from jungle leaves, pear from azalea leaves and blueberries from spruce leaves. The fruits can be eaten directly or combined into juices.
Juices are crafted by adding the chosen fruit and sugar to a glass bottle. Apple juice and orange juice are included alongside the fruit-based recipes, and the juices restore hunger while raising the saturation the fruit provides. Some fruits are rarer and carry special effects; the Bloomed Pear, for example, restores four hearts at once and applies nausea for 15 seconds.
The mod is a lightweight addition meant to make food variety feel more natural within the classic survival game. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.8 only, and the code is under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
