Joe's Better Berries
by CaptainJoe
Roasted Berries is a food item that Joe's Better Berries adds by cooking sweet berries over a campfire, for players who want a stronger ration from berries they already gather.
What it does
Cooking a sweet berry over a campfire produces a roasted berry, which takes half the time to eat and restores one and a half hunger bars, more than a regular berry gives. The mod's stated goal is new food items that leave the game's food balance intact, so the roasted version offers a sweeter option without changing how other foods work. The recipe uses a campfire as the required station, and the mod adds no new crops or other ingredients.
The mod runs on Fabric and is published for 1.20.1 only, with 0.2.0 as the latest file, dated 2024-01-22. Both the client and the server need it, since it is a client and server mod. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. No required dependency is listed for Fabric.

How it compares
Just Golden Berries is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, runs on Fabric for 1.18 – 1.18.2 and works on client and server. Effect Berries is a Fabric mod for 1.20 that is not open source and is licensed as All rights reserved. Joe's Better Berries is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, also client and server, and is not open source, so its version target matches Effect Berries more closely than Just Golden Berries.

What the author says
When Minecraft version 1.14 was released with the Sweet Berry, I had been hoping Mojang would add more uses for the berries. However, it has been almost 5 years since 1.14 was released, so I'm guessing they aren't going to be adding any new uses for berries anytime soon. So, I decided to create this very simple mod…
