NoCube's Food Desire
by NoCube
NoCube's Food Desire makes the character want particular foods, and eating what it craves grants experience and a temporary Well Fed effect.
What it does
Sometimes the character's food desire asks for something specific. Eating it when it is requested gives experience and the Well Fed effect, which temporarily boosts the main stats. When the desire is not met, nothing bad happens; a new desire appears after a while and can be satisfied instead.
Diets are chosen with a Diet Book, crafted from a bowl and paper and used to change the current diet. Balanced is the starting setting, where nearly every food is wanted and desires are harder to meet, while Vegetarian is easier to satisfy and Carnivore gives sweets. Three new diets exist for the Dragon Survival dragon species, and the Paleolithic diet replaces other diets in the TFC progression.
The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge across four game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, with 1.0.1 as the latest file for each loader. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Only the client and server need it, so the server and every player install the mod.
