GastroMod
by Jay_L
GastroMod, by Jay_L, is a Forge food mod that adds potions, armor, tools and a joke-driven set of food mechanics to Minecraft 1.20.1.
What it does
Gastritis-themed items form the core of the mod: a potion and its essence, a sword, a pickaxe, an axe and a full armor set. Food items such as sour cream, sour cream onion chips, pickled fish and baked pickled fish and a borscht with sour cream join them, alongside a kvass block and several new smelting recipes.
The mod also adds crafting for new items and an ability to create new potions, plus a foggy potion. Its author describes the content as absurd, realistic in places and made for the entertainment of the author and friends, so the mechanics read more as jokes than as a balanced survival system. Effects of different foods are still under development and may change.
GastroMod needs Forge and runs on 1.20.1 only. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player must install it. The code is closed: the license is All rights reserved and the mod is not open source. Its latest Forge file is 4.0.5, published on 2026-05-23.
