NoBeefSteaks
by woskethebot
NoBeefSteaks gives beef a cost: when a player eats it, the game applies negative status effects instead of the usual benefit.
What it does
Eating beef triggers a set of harmful effects, scaled to a level from 1 to 5, with Mining Fatigue and Bad Omen among the effects the mod can apply. The result is that beef stops being a safe food and becomes a risk to weigh against hunger.
The mod is a Fabric server mod, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Files are built for the 1.19 line through 1.21.11, with 1.0.0-1.21 as the latest Fabric build for 1.21.11, first published on 2026-04-12.
Key features
Negative effects on beef
Eating beef applies harmful status effects in place of the food benefit, so the meal does not restore health as expected.
Mining Fatigue and Bad Omen
Mining Fatigue and Bad Omen are among the effects applied, which slow digging and affect raids in a village.
Five effect levels
The effects are graded across levels 1 to 5, giving server owners a range from mild to severe penalties.

Use cases
Hardcore and challenge servers
Server owners who want food to carry a cost can use the mod to make beef a deliberate choice rather than a default meal.
Cursed modpacks
Packs built around odd rules can add the mod alongside other food and magic changes to alter how players feed themselves.
Who it’s for: Server owners running Fabric who want a penalty on one food item. Players need nothing installed on their side.
How it compares
No Pork is also a server-side Fabric mod, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it covers the same 1.19 line through 1.21.11, but it targets pork rather than beef. Beef Chunkus is a Fabric and Forge mod released under All rights reserved, for 1.19.2 – 1.20.4, and it needs the server while the client is optional. Potion Mod is a Fabric mod for 1.20 – 1.21.11 that runs on both client and server under the MIT License.
