Lunch Bag
by Qubit
Lunch Bag adds a single portable item that stores food, so players can carry a supply of meals in one inventory slot and eat from it directly.
What it does
Lunch Bag is a simple mod that adds one item, the bag itself. Food placed inside it stays there until it is needed, and the bag can be eaten from without moving the food back out. The item works in survival play and on multiplayer servers alike, and the mod needs to be installed on both the server and every player's client.
The bag has two modes that a player switches between by holding Shift and right-clicking. In Closed Mode, right-clicking adds food to the bag for storage. In Open Mode, right-clicking eats food straight from the bag. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 21 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.2, and the code is covered by the MIT License but is not open source.

Use cases
Carrying food on long trips
A player who travels far can fill the bag before leaving and eat from it along the way without managing separate stacks of food.
Keeping inventory tidy
Storing several kinds of food in one item frees inventory slots for tools, blocks and other gear.
Who it’s for: Players who want to carry food without filling their inventory, in single-player worlds or on multiplayer servers where the mod is installed on both sides.
