Quality Food

by Cadentem

Quality Food gives food and some crops a quality value from 0 to 3, changing nutrition, effects and crafted results.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.18.2 – 1.21.1

What it does

Each food item can carry a quality level between 0 (NONE) and 3 (DIAMOND). Higher quality raises nutrition and saturation, strengthens positive effects from eating, and reduces or removes negative ones. Crafted items that are quality-applicable take on the quality of their ingredients through configurable crafting recipes, and the minecraft:generic.luck attribute raises the chance of quality loot.

Quality also reaches farming. Crops can receive a bonus based on the farmland block they grow on, set through a farmland configuration that takes a multiplier, and baby animals inherit roughly 60% to 90% of their parents' potential by default. Milking cows or chickens laying eggs can also yield better results. Non-food items become quality-applicable through a whitelist item tag, and only blocks in the quality block tag retain quality. The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge and is needed on both client and server, under the MIT License and open source, with files for 1.18.2 – 1.21.1.

Key features

  1. Quality levels for food

    Food items carry a quality value from 0 to 3, which scales their nutrition, saturation and effects.

  2. Effect adjustment

    Positive effects from eating are strengthened and negative effects are diminished or removed at higher quality.

  3. Quality in crafting

    Crafting recipes can keep the quality of the ingredients, so the result follows the lowest or highest tier used.

  4. Farmland bonuses

    A configurable multiplier for each farmland block affects how crops respond when planted on it.

  5. Commands for quality items

    Commands give, apply and remove quality on items, so players and server owners can set results directly.
