Nuclear Nourishment
by Awakey
Nuclear Nourishment is a Fabric food mod for 1.20.1 that adds tiered dishes such as the Omnipotent Apple and Radioactive Bread, each with its own status effects.
What it does
The mod adds a new tier of food items to the vanilla food list. The Omnipotent Apple and Radioactive Bread are the central entries, and each food carries a status effect that applies when it is eaten. Some dishes are meant to stand above ordinary bread and apples in the progression, with effects that go beyond a plain hunger restore.
Fabric API is required, so it must be installed next to Nuclear Nourishment. The mod runs on client and server, meaning the server and every player need it. Builds exist for 1.20.1 only, and the latest Fabric file is 0.0.1-1.20.1, published on 2024-02-09. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
