Potato Perks!
by pengi
Potato Perks! is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that turns potatoes into items that grant temporary status effects when eaten.
What it does
Potatoes in this mod are not just food. Several potato variants, including Pink, Blue, Orange and Purple, can be crafted or smelted into forms that give players speed, jump boost, haste or night vision for a set time. Pink Potato Blocks and Blue Potato Blocks are crafted from vanilla resources, and each variant has a smelting recipe that yields a charred, scorched or singed form.
Potato Portals convert one potato variant into another when placed, so a player can work through the chain from the base crop to the rarer types. Fabric API is required. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with source code published. Files exist only for 1.21.1, and the latest Fabric file is 1.3.0, dated 2025-01-27.

Smelted potato variants
