Jaden's Nether Expansion Delight
by Chaolux
Jaden's Nether Expansion Delight is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge addon that adds more than 30 Nether foods cooked through Farmer's Delight.
What it does
Players cook the dishes with the cooking system from Farmer's Delight, so the mod requires Farmer's Delight, Farmer's Delight Refabricated and Jaden's Nether Expansion to run. Eating some of the dishes while standing in the Nether grants a short immunity effect, a single small rule that applies only in that dimension.
Several foods do more than restore hunger. Some change placed lights into their soul counterparts, some light candles, and others act on the world in different ways. A food also strengthens tamed companions when a player feeds it to a dog, and dogs have a food of their own. A knife adds a small tracking feature: after it strikes a supported mob, nearby mobs of the same type begin to glow.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Builds are published for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the MIT License covering the open source code. Source code and an issue tracker are available.
Key features
Over 30 Nether foods

Companion buffs
