Spice of Life: Classic Edition [1.20.1]

by lepoko2525

Spice of Life: Classic Edition lowers the food recovery a player gets when eating the same food again, which pushes players to vary their meals.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Each food a player eats is tracked, and repeated eating of the same item reduces its recovery: the first meal restores 100%, the second 90%, the third 75%, the fourth 50% and the fifth 5%. The decrease is treated as a short-term debuff that builds up over time, so consuming a specific food more often lowers its recovery by 1% per consumption, up to a limit. The number of meals tracked in history, the debuff values and other settings can be changed in the config file, and they apply per world save.

The mod is for survival play and modpacks that aim to reward a varied diet instead of a single food source. The Basket and Large Basket each hold nine stacks of food, and a right click eats an item from inside them. The recovery change is shown in the HUD, and the mod works with AppleSkin and was tested with Farmer's Delight. It is a fork of the older Spice of Life mod with similar content.

Spice of Life: Classic Edition requires Architectury API and Fabric API. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, and files exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across seven game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.1.

Key features

  1. Diminishing food recovery

    Repeated eating of the same food gives 100%, 90%, 75%, 50% and then 5% recovery in sequence.

  2. Long-term food debuff

    Frequently consumed foods lose 1% recovery per consumption, up to a limit, simulating a lasting debuff.

  3. Food baskets

    Basket and Large Basket each hold nine stacks of food, and right-clicking eats the food stored inside.

  4. Configurable tracking

    The number of tracked meals, the debuff values and the history length are set in the config file and apply per save.

What the author says

This mod is not a fork of Spice of Life, but the content is similar. Instead of a policy of rewarding and encouraging eating, which is common, it encourages eating by debuffing. This is considered the short-term debuff.
