Pinecones & Acorns
by Tototara
Pinecones & Acorns adds forest foraging to the game, with throwable seeds, jams, a Jam Table and a Forest Forager villager, under the MIT License.
What it does
Pine cones and acorns drop from leaves as the player harvests them: pine cones from spruce leaves, acorns from oak and dark oak leaves, and cherries from cherry leaves. Both seeds can be thrown, with a pine cone dealing 2.5 hearts of damage and an acorn dealing 3 hearts while briefly halting the target. Resin can be harvested directly from spruce logs.
Food and utility items come with the Jam Table, which turns ingredients into three unique jams. Consuming three jams within 5 minutes activates Forest Harmony, during which most hostile forest creatures stay peaceful for a limited time. The Empty Jar and Water Jar are added as containers. A Forest Forager villager sells woodland goods, and a Forest Wreath can be worn to blend into the woods.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is published for Forge only, across 18 release versions 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and its code is released under the MIT License without being open source. The mod has no required dependencies.

How it compares
Forager's Insight is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License that is also client and server, but it covers a narrower set of foraging features. Resource Trees supports both Fabric and Forge for 1.18.2 – 1.20.3 and is licensed as All rights reserved. More Forests is client-side only for 1.20.1 under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, so servers do not need it.
