Q6A++
by QTTMY
Q6A++ is a Forge and NeoForge food mod that adds horse meat, pig jerky and a set of survival and creative items built around sodium and salt.
What it does
Horse meat is the mod's main food item: players can obtain it from horses and cook it like other meats. Pig jerky joins it as a second cured meat. Sodium is added as a crafting material, and salt is obtained by crafting sediment with stone and dirt, so survival players have a route to it without creative tools.
Several items reflect the mod's experimental side. Sodium reacts violently when it touches water, so it is not safe to hold near a water source. Some items can be placed on the ground or held in the offhand, and new aluminium-based building blocks are available through creative mode. Gravel and sand are also used as inputs in some recipes.
Files are published for Forge and NeoForge in two versions, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Its latest Forge build is 0.0.4 for 1.20.1, and its latest NeoForge build is 0.5.0 for 1.21.1, both on the alpha channel.

What the author says
This mod adds horse meat and more stuff (Like Aluminium, Sodium, NaCl, and an Item Railgun) For now in survival you can get horse meat from horses and craft sediment salt stone with 3 dirt on top of 3 gravel on top of 3 sand, then place the stone down and mine it with a hoe to obtain salt.
