Food Effects
Food Effects changes the status effects that foods give on eating, with each effect's duration and level set in a config file.
What it does
The mod re-balances vanilla foods so that many of them grant a different effect than they do in the base game. Mushroom Stew gives Regeneration II, Rabbit Stew gives Jump Boost II, Beetroot Soup gives a Health Boost, Pumpkin Pie gives Haste, Baked Potato gives Strength, Pufferfish gives Water Breathing, and Honey Bottle gives Instant Health. Cookies and sweet berries are also consumed faster than before.
The changes are meant to be tuned. The effect a food gives, its duration and its amplifier can all be set through the config, so a server owner can keep the defaults or adjust each food to suit a pack. The mod runs on Forge and is published for 1.16.5, 1.18.2 and 1.19, with the latest file for 1.19 (1.19-1.1.3, dated 2022-06-08). Food Effects is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it is open source under the Apache License 2.0.

What the author says
It was designed with the aim of being highly configurable, and so you can change the Effect any food item gives you, the duration of that effect, and the amplifier/level of the effect too, all through the config! Oh yeah, and Cookies/Berries are now consumed faster!
