Monster Food
by suzerain_
Players who want new meals from mob drops can use Monster Food, which turns hostile mob ingredients into cookable and craftable foods.
What it does
Monster Food adds food items built from ingredients taken from hostile mobs. Spider Paste is one more mob-based ingredient. The mod also adds further crafting items that support these recipes.
Installation runs on Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.12.2 and 26.1.2 across eight release versions. Both the server and every player need the mod, because the environment is client and server. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.
Key features

Use cases
Themed food on a survival world
Players who gather drops from hostile mobs can turn them into meals instead of discarding them.
Who it’s for: Players who want food tied to monsters, and server owners who run a modded survival world with mob-themed cooking, will find the mod's recipe set useful. Its required install on both sides means the whole group must run it.
