Simple Food Experience
by Feaz Labs
Simple Food Experience converts eating common foods into experience points, and the mod is built so players gain XP from food without machines or skill trees.
What it does
Players who eat food receive experience, which can be spent on enchanting and repairing gear. Foods run from farm produce through cooked dishes to rarer edibles, so gathering, preparing and eating food becomes a direct source of character growth while farming and exploring.
The design stays simple: no setup, technical blocks or progression trees are added. Foods from other mods are recognized as well, and the mod is kept understandable for modpacks. It is released under the Apache License 2.0, but it is not open source. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and files cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.8 – 1.21.11.
