What it does

Foods in Foolish Foods carry random effects: some grant buffs such as healing over time, quicker movement and extra jumping height, while others apply slowness, darkness, blindness or a lactic acid debuff. The chance and duration of each effect depend on the food, and the author describes the mod as a generic set of foods with potential benefits and drawbacks.

The Deceiving Dagger is a weapon whose attacks can strip the positive effects from a target, replacing them with their negative counterparts. Tetrodotoxin, shortened to tetrodo in the author text, is a level tracked by the medicinal honey bottle, which reduces its dosage when consumed. A command reset of the level is included, and the author describes the dosage limit as added for balance.

The mod is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source, and All rights reserved applies to it. Its first release is version 1.0.0, dated 2026-01-14.

Key features

  1. Random food effects

    Foods apply benefits and debuffs with set chances, such as a 10 percent chance of a level two buff and a 20 percent chance of slowness.

  2. Deceiving Dagger

    A weapon that removes positive effects from a target and swaps them for negative ones, with a fast attack speed.

  3. Medicinal honey bottle

    A crafted item whose consumption lowers the tetrodo level, limiting how often its remedy can be used.

  4. Cookie recipes

    Two cookie recipes are included, available after a first craft that needs sugar, cocoa, wheat and tetrodo.
