Food N' Fuel
by nat3vg
Food N' Fuel adds food items that give buffs, fuels that burn longer, and cooking recipes for foods that vanilla Minecraft does not cook.
What it does
Food N' Fuel gives niche vanilla food sources more value. Carrots, beetroots and tropical fish can be cooked into edible food, and kelp-wrapped prepping dishes give players a comfortable option during underwater exploration. Several foods also come with buffs for different situations.
Fuel is the second half of the mod. Fuels can be farmed from overworld ingredients and burn for as long as a blaze rod, so coal is no longer the only practical choice in the early game. Bulk smelting for other modded machinery is also covered. The author plans to add more food and fuel items as development continues.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric and Forge for the 1.20.1 – 1.21.3 range, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Recipes can be checked in JEI, which the author recommends alongside it.

Underwater exploration

How it compares
Extra Food is open source under the MIT License, runs on client and server, and is published for Fabric and Forge for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, so it covers older versions than Food N' Fuel. Murgers is a Fabric mod for 1.20.6 – 1.21 under All rights reserved, and its files do not overlap with Food N' Fuel's Forge builds.
