Mysterious Chips
by wiIk_wq
Mysterious Chips, a Forge food mod, adds chips that each carry a special effect, with several flavors for players to collect and eat.
What it does
Each chip is a consumable item with an effect of its own, so eating one changes how a player's character behaves for a while. The set spans several flavors, and the author describes the balance as weighted between playful effects and practical use. A player who wants chips with distinct outcomes can build a stock of different types rather than relying on one effect.
Installation is a single step: the jar goes into the mods folder for Forge. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge across 15 release versions, and the latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.6, released on 2025-03-07. The code is all rights reserved and is not open source, though a public source repository and an issue tracker are available for reference. The author has noted planned settings to fine-tune effects and a future port to Fabric and Quilt.
Key features
Chips with special effects

Settings for effect tuning
The author plans options to adjust how strong or long each chip effect lasts.
Public source repository
The source code is publicly available, so server owners and developers can study it or adapt its chip types.
