Gastronomy
by nightfury717
Gastronomy, a NeoForge food mod by nightfury717, reworks the food system with crops, cooking and drinks, and is still in alpha.
What it does
Gastronomy overhauls the vanilla food system. It adds food crops that grow from seeds and can be fertilized with bonemeal, along with fish that regrow and a cooking path where seafish are cooked in a blast furnace. A brewing station handles heating water, and a functional oven block is planned as the basis for cooking recipes, with its availability to be expanded later.
The mod is designed for survival play on both single-player and multiplayer servers. It runs on the client and the server together, so every player on a server running it needs the mod too. Files exist for NeoForge only, across three game versions: 1.20.6, 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved. Its first alpha build was published on 2024-08-12, and the last update came on 2024-08-15.
Key features
Food crops
Crops grow from planted seeds and can be accelerated with bonemeal, which provides a food source beyond vanilla options.
Fish regrowth
Fish can regrow after they are caught, giving players a repeatable seafood supply.
Cooking seafish
Seafish are cooked in a blast furnace to produce cooked fish, a step that feeds the mod's cooking path.
Heating water at the brewing station
The brewing station can heat water, which is part of the drink side of the mod.
Oven block
A functional oven block is in development as the foundation for cooking mechanics, with more recipes planned.

How it compares
More Fast Food is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that runs on the client and server, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Megalo's AIO - NeoForge Edition is also NeoForge only for 1.21.1 and runs on the client and server, but it is released under the MIT License. Dutch Foods covers both Fabric and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 and is server-side only, so clients need nothing installed.
