Healing Soup
by Serilum
Healing Soup changes how mushroom stew and soup restore health, so a bowl can heal part of the health bar in multiplayer fights.
What it does
Eating a bowl of mushroom stew or soup heals a set number of half hearts, and the amount is set by the server through the soupHalfHeartHealAmount option, which defaults to 8 and accepts values from 0 to 20. The default is the same figure used for healing in Minecraft PvP. Mushroom Stew is renamed Mushroom Soup in the game.
The mod also adds Cactus Soup and Chocolate Milk recipes, with their own textures, so the soups can be crafted in survival worlds. Because the healing is applied on the server, the mod is meant for servers and their players, where it runs alongside Collective, which is required.
Healing Soup is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and its files cover 1.16.5 – 26.3. The latest file for each loader is 26.3.0-5.5-fabric+forge+neo for 26.3, released 2026-10-02. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
