Food cans
by rekreator12e
Food cans adds canned versions of several vanilla soups and stews, plus condensed milk and tushonka, that stack up to 2 per slot.
What it does
Six new items come in three forms: canned mushroom stew, beetroot soup and rabbit stew, which are stackable alternatives to the vanilla bowls, along with condensed milk and tushonka. Tushonka is made from steak and gives two cans, and condensed milk is made from a milk bucket and sugar and returns the bucket when crafted. Two versions of the mod exist: one makes the soups and tushonka restore some health, while the other makes them work like normal foods.
Food cans runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its only listed requirement is Fabric, and files are published for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.0.0.No.Heal for 1.20.6 as the latest file. The code is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is not open source. Eating a food item leaves the empty container behind, so players should pick up after themselves.
Key features
Stackable canned soups
Mushroom stew, beetroot soup and rabbit stew stack to 2 in a slot, unlike the vanilla bowls.
Tushonka
Tushonka is a canned meat made from steak, which yields two cans and saturates more than the steak it replaces.
Condensed milk
Condensed milk is crafted from a milk bucket and sugar, clears status effects and returns the bucket.
Two health variants
One version lets soups and tushonka restore some health, and the other keeps them as plain food.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Survival food supply
Players who run a survival base can stock cans that stack, keeping inventories smaller than bowls would.
Long expeditions
Tushonka gives more food per steak, which helps in longer trips away from farms.
Who it’s for: Players who want stackable soups and stews in survival, and server owners who want a food mod that adds little to the game.

Too Much Food! targets 1.20.4 under the MIT License. All of these run on client and server, the same as Food cans, but none has the same tushonka and condensed milk pair.
