Salt
by mortuusars
Salt is a Forge and NeoForge food mod: players can salt cooked and raw food to change its taste and nutrition, and collect rock salt from caves and ocean biomes.
What it does
Salting is a recipe that accepts any food carrying the salt:can be salted tag, so other mods and datapacks can opt their items in. Salted food gives a nutrition value that server owners can set per food. Several food mods are supported without extra setup.
Salt itself comes from three routes: rock salt ore that generates underground in dripstone caves, ocean and beach biomes, where harvesting yields raw rock salt that is crafted into Salt; salt crystals that grow; and evaporating water in a cauldron. Every Salt block dissolves in water. Further salt sources can be added with a datapack or a scripting mod.
Salt runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge and NeoForge across the 1.18.2 – 1.20.1 range, under the MIT License, and the source code is open.
