Simply Boba
by thebanclan
Simply Boba adds several Boba Tea variants to Minecraft Forge, each with its own food value and temporary effect.
What it does
The mod stays close to vanilla in feel. Its base Boba drink and several flavored versions are cooked or smelted into items that can be eaten. Tapioca Pearls come from smelting Honeycomb, and nine of them can be crafted into a Tapioca Pearl Block, which resembles an ore block and makes storing the pearls easier.
Each flavored drink gives a timed effect for 30 seconds: Milk Coffee Boba clears active effects in the way milk does, Matcha Milk Tea Boba grants Jump Boost, Pumpkin Spice Boba grants Haste, Watermelon Boba grants Regeneration and Honey Boba grants Slow Falling. Chorus Fruit Boba teleports the player to a random location when eaten, similar to chorus fruit. The higher-value variants give strong saturation, though they are not the easiest items to craft early in a game.
Simply Boba runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 across two release versions, with 4.0.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
