Golden Foods!
by Lupin
Golden Foods! gives the default foods gold-dipped versions that carry the same effects as golden apples, plus enchanted golden variants.
What it does
Each vanilla food gets a golden variant and an enchanted golden variant. Every golden food grants the effects of a golden apple, and every enchanted golden food grants the effects of an enchanted golden apple. The golden carrot is the exception: its recipe changed, so it now needs gold bars.
Golden foods need gold bars to craft. The enchanted versions need a separate item, obtained through a new enchantment called Golden Food Enchantment. That enchantment can be rolled at an enchanting table with 30 levels of experience, so a player places a book on the table and hopes for it to appear among the offers.
Golden Foods! requires MonoLib on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. The mod is published for 1.18.2 – 26.1.2 across 13 release versions, the latest file being 2.4.0 for 26.1.2. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
