Food Enhancements
Food Enhancements adds a set of Forge foods and drinks that extend vanilla Minecraft's food list while keeping the vanilla look and crafting flow.
What it does
Most of the new items are built by combining existing vanilla ingredients, such as honey, carrots, berries, pumpkins and fish, so no new crops are introduced. A few foods come from simple mob drops, including spider legs, cave spider legs, bat wings and squid tentacles. The author describes the mod as a fit for vanilla-plus modpacks and says the reason for making it was that the vanilla food selection felt too small.
Recipes cover boiled and fried eggs, carrot salads, fruit bowls, pies, soups, toast, stews, juices and wines, along with a few drinks in bottles and bowls. Food Enhancements is built for Forge only, and its files cover 1.18.2 and 1.19.2. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Its latest Forge file is 1.19.2-2.0.0-pre2, a beta from 2023-09-03.

Use cases
Vanilla-plus modpacks
Modpack builders who want more food while keeping the vanilla style can add the mod without new crops or dimensions.
Who it’s for: Players and modpack authors who want a wider set of vanilla-style foods on Forge 1.18.2 or 1.19.2.
How it compares
Immersive Foods is a Forge option that covers 1.18.2 – 26.1.2 and is client and server, under All rights reserved. Newfoods+ is also Forge-only and tied to 1.20.1, under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Food Enhancements sits at 1.18.2 and 1.19.2, so it is the better match only if a player needs one of those two versions.
