Kawaii Foods
by Regressia
Kawaii Foods adds new foods, recipes and a collectable card game built around kawaii food characters, for Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
The foods fit alongside vanilla items in the same style, with toast, pots of tea and recipes that give the game a little more variety. The food faces were left out on purpose, so the look stays close to vanilla while still carrying a kawaii twist. Iron, gold and diamond nuggets are also included as crafting material.
A collection card game is built into the mod. Eating a food gives a chance to win a card, and each card shows a kawaii character. The collection currently holds 8 characters and 24 cards across basic, common and rare tiers, and it is set to grow over time with some vanilla items added. Players can trade cards with friends and sell extras to a custom villager trader. Villager trading is not active in versions before 1.0.6.6.
Installation is required on the client and the server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files cover 1.19.2, 1.19.4, 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.8 and 26.1.2, and the mod is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved. Recipes are listed for JEI, which the author notes is useful for checking the added recipes.
