FoodVendor
by dofaaaaaa
FoodVendor lets a player set up a small food shop, where villagers and other customers order dishes that the player then serves from tables.
What it does
Shop space is built from fences, pressure plates, stairs, banners, bells and barrels inside a 31x31 area. A primary Menu Barrel defines what customers can order, and additional Menu Barrels add storage. Each order is displayed over its table, and the player has to place that dish before the customer leaves. Customers arrive when a Shop Bell is rung and attraction banners are placed.
The mod also covers other food content: it can sell dishes from other food mods that add tavern-style content, and it includes a Specialty Shop and a Prepared Lunch Shop. Story moments unfold as villagers, wandering traders and special visitors appear along the way, and a guide-like dialogue helps a player learn the mod gradually. The information below applies only to version 3.0.0.
FoodVendor is published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and it runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. The latest Fabric file, 3.0.0-JPN for 1.21.1, was released on 2026-08-31. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is not open source.
