FoodAttributes
by httpedor
FoodAttributes changes what eating does, so each food grants temporary attribute modifiers or typed combat effects instead of only restoring hunger.
What it does
Foods carry effects that last for a set time after they are eaten. Steak can make a player hit harder, an apple can grant a pool of natural absorption, and fish can make swimming faster. Version 2.0 adds a whole cooking system in which foods carry combat effects instead of plain attributes, and an optional mode keeps the older behavior. Hunger is no longer restored over time as the only result of eating.
The server and every player need the mod installed. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public links to the source code, issue tracker and wiki. Its required dependency is Farmer's Delight, which the mod needs because it takes over the skillet and turns freeform cooking into a data-driven station, similar to Cuisine's Delight. Files are published for NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 2.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file.
Key features
Temporary attribute buffs
Eaten food grants attribute modifiers that last for a limited time, and a small top-left display shows which buffs are active.
Typed on-hit effects
Some foods apply effects when the player hits, such as fire, freeze, lifesteal, shield break or execute, with some scaling by missing health.
On-attacked effects
Other foods trigger when the player is hit, for example fire knockback, damage reduction, or a status effect applied to the attacker.
Combat and utility attributes
New attributes include explosion, projectile and damage reflection resistance, passive regeneration, an item magnet, reduced sprint exhaustion and night vision without flicker.
Cooking in a pan
Ingredients are thrown into a pan over a heat source, cook at their own speed, and are stirred or flipped with empty-hand right-clicks.
