Minecolonies - Minecraft Vanilla Food Tiered
by zackman6344
Minecraft Vanilla Food Tiered sorts common vanilla foods into Bronze, Silver and Gold tiers for the Minecolonies citizen food system.
What it does
Vanilla foods such as steak and golden carrots are placed into tiers that the Minecolonies food system reads, so citizens are served food of the quality they expect. Higher tiers give citizens happiness, and a wider variety of meals adds to that effect. Serving low-quality food draws more complaints from citizens, which makes the tiers matter in a colony.
The mod is a Forge add-on that depends on Minecolonies and is intended for colony play, including modpacks that include Minecolonies. Its author describes it as a quality-of-life change for the food rules and says it has not been checked against other versions or setups. Files exist for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.0.1 for 1.20.6 as the latest release.
Installation requires Minecolonies alongside this mod on the same side. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is released under All rights reserved, which means the project is not open source.

How it compares
Ar's Food is published for Forge 1.20.1, runs on client and server and is not open source, so it adds its own foods rather than tiering vanilla ones. Newfoods+ is released under the MIT License with a Forge 1.20.1 build and is not open source under the catalog's definition, so it also differs in function from this mod.
