More Food
by HIGS-Dev
Players who want more dishes in a Forge 1.16.5 world can add More Food, which brings extra edible items without changing how vanilla food works.
What it does
More Food adds new food items to a Forge 1.16.5 game, each with its own recipe. The author states the aim is to keep the vanilla food experience intact while widening the menu, and plans further food types and recipes in later updates. Files are published only for 1.16.5, with 0.1 as the latest build, dated 2021-08-22 and labeled alpha. The server and every player need the mod installed. The mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
