Foodtweakerr
by Icywhenhot
With Foodtweakerr, pack authors set the hunger, saturation, effects and eating time of any food item through a JSON file, without datapacks or code.
What it does
Each food entry in a config file targets one food item by its ID, so vanilla and modded foods can both be overridden. An entry can change nutrition and saturation values, lengthen or shorten the time it takes to eat, make an item always edible, add potion effects that apply when it is consumed, and apply attribute modifiers while eating. Rotten flesh can be made a usable survival food, and golden carrots can be given a temporary speed effect.
The mod is built for modpack developers and server owners who want to rebalance an entire food ecosystem. It has no default changes of its own; every alteration comes from the config entries a pack author writes. Architectury API is required on every loader. Foodtweakerr runs on the server only, so players join without installing it, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge with builds for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The code is open source under the MIT License.
