Food Packages And Recycling
by DeonsGaming
Food Packages And Recycling lets players store food in craftable cardboard boxes and plastic packages, then break used packaging down into reusable materials.
What it does
Players craft packages from vanilla items and place stacks of food inside them, which keeps an inventory tidy and makes large amounts of food easier to move between locations. Cardboard boxes and plastic packages differ in how they are crafted and what they hold, and a player can pick whichever suits a given trip or storage spot.
Used packaging goes into a recycling process that returns reusable materials, giving food storage and waste a loop that fits survival resource management. Recipes use vanilla Minecraft items, so the mod does not introduce new weapons or non-vanilla content. Petroleum and Petroleum Ore, along with bauxite, are the only non-vanilla items the author lists.
Installation requires Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the mod is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything. The license is a custom one and the mod is not open source. The latest Forge file is 1.0.7 for 1.20.1, published on 2025-10-09, after a first release on 2025-03-03.
