Simple Foods
by PickledFish1
Simple Foods brings a set of everyday food items to Forge 1.20.1, from pizza slices and French fries to ice cream, mugs of hot cocoa and noodles.
What it does
Players gain a range of cooking and snack items: chocolate bars in yellow, light blue and red, mugs for hot water and hot cocoa, pizza slices and pie, ice cream and French fries. A few ingredients such as vanilla extract and vanilla flowers come with it, along with noodles and cheese for making simple meals.
The mod adds some blocks and items as well, including a cheese maker, chocolate bar wrappers, salt, cardboard and a red box, plus one plant. Its focus stays on food. Installation requires Forge, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files exist only for Forge 1.20.1, with version 1.0.0 as the latest file, released 2025-06-01. The code is not open source and is covered by All rights reserved.
The author recommends installing JEI alongside Simple Foods, since the recipes for the new items are easier to look up in it.

How it compares
Cocoa Bar is also a Forge 1.20.1 food mod built for client and server, but it is released under a custom license, while Simple Foods carries All rights reserved. Several Food Craft is another Forge 1.20.1 option with the same environment, released under All rights reserved. More Food Mod targets 1.20.4 – 1.20.6 and is under the MIT License, so it does not run on 1.20.1.
