Japanese Foods - JF
by Bluey-Wi
Japanese Foods - JF brings classic Japanese dishes into Minecraft as food items, and its 12 items, 11 recipes and 3 trades are built with MCreator for Forge 1.18.2.
What it does
Players who want Japanese dishes in their survival or adventure world can craft a set of food items that follow traditional recipes. The 11 recipes cover the dishes, the 3 advancements track progress through them, and 3 villager trades offer some of the items for emeralds. The author notes that a JEI install is needed to browse the recipes in game.
The mod has to be on the client and on the server, so every player who joins a server running it installs it too. Single-player works with the same jar. The author states the mod was made with MCreator and reworked from an earlier version named Japanese Foods. Only Forge 1.18.2 is supported, with a single file, 1.0.0 for 1.18.2, dated 2023-07-24, which is also the first and last publication date. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
The author notes that the textures are weak and promises a fix, so the current art may change in a later update. The mod is listed as compatible with other mods, but the Modrinth page does not name tested pairings.

How it compares
Ar's Food is a Forge mod for 1.20.1, with a client and server environment and an All rights reserved license that is not open source. Maturi Delight is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, also client and server, and it is open source under the MIT License. Japanese Foods - JF only targets Forge 1.18.2 and is All rights reserved, so it fits a 1.18.2 Forge world where the other two do not run.
