No Milk Effect
by Anphrr
No Milk Effect is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that removes the status effect a player gets from drinking a Milk Bucket.
What it does
Drinking milk in vanilla Minecraft clears active status effects, and the mod takes that interaction out of the game. Its author describes it as a quality-of-life change for modpacks where the Milk Bucket is seen as overpowered, and it removes that effect so milk works as a plain food item. Nothing else in the crafting or farming loop is altered.
Forge is the only loader with files, and the 1.0.0 build covers Minecraft 1.20.1 alone, published on 2023-11-03 with the same date as the first and last update. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source in the sense of a public repository; the author has asked that credit be given when the mod is used in videos or modpack showcases.
The mod sits in the Game mechanics category with a Utility tag. It is useful to modpack builders who want milk to behave differently from the vanilla default, and to server owners who run a fixed set of rules for every player.
Key features
Milk Bucket effect removed
Drinking milk no longer applies the effect that vanilla milk clears from the player.
Plain food behavior
Milk keeps its food use and the bucket still returns after drinking, with the status change taken out.
Modpack-focused change
The change targets modpacks where the milk effect is considered too strong, and nothing else is removed.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Modpack balancing
A modpack author can keep the Milk Bucket as a food item without the effect it normally clears.
Server rule consistency
Because the environment is client and server, a server owner can enforce the same milk behavior for every player who joins.
Who it’s for: Modpack authors and server owners on Forge 1.20.1 who want milk to stop clearing status effects, and who are willing to install the mod on both sides.
How it compares
Milk Powder is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, also client and server, so it is a close match on loader, version and environment. Honey Milk! is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt on 1.20.1 under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source, so it covers more loaders with a different license.
