Food Additions
by WhiterM
Food Additions makes seven vanilla items edible and adds eleven new foods, each with its own hunger, saturation and effect values.
What it does
Several vanilla items, such as eggs, carrots and sea pickles, can be eaten once the mod is installed, and new foods are added to the Foods and Drinks tab. Some of the new foods are made by smelting, crafting or cooking regular vanilla items, including snow, which can be smelted into melted snow or baked snow. Others are built from milk, honey and bottles, used to remove the poison from poisonous potatoes.
Each food has its own nutrition and saturation values, and some give a custom effect when eaten. Glistering Melon Slice restores one half heart and sets a higher hunger value, Dragon's Breath grants a short invincibility effect, and Popped Chorus Fruit does not teleport the player after eating. Foods such as Rabbit's Foot and Tropical Fish can be given to animals as well. Some features are configurable, including the chance that a player receives an extra egg or bonemeal from certain foods.
Food Additions is a Forge mod built for versions 1.18.2 and 1.20.1, with the 1.0.0 file for 1.20.1 as the latest release. It runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it, and it is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
