Special Potatoes
Special Potatoes is a Forge food mod for Minecraft 1.7.10 that adds seven potatoes, each with its own status effect when eaten.
What it does
Each of the seven special potatoes grants a different effect when eaten, and the recipes start from a baked potato as the core ingredient. The Miner's Potato gives Night Vision and Haste for working through deep caves and clearing ore faster. The Fire Potato grants Fire Resistance and puts out burning, which suits trips through the Nether. The Bouncy Potato gives a large Jump Boost while Slow Falling softens landings, and the Iron Potato adds Resistance and extra Absorption hearts for heavy hits.
The remaining three cover other situations. The Creeper Potato triggers a controlled explosion where the player eats it. The Oceanic Potato grants Water Breathing, Swift Swim and Dolphin's Grace for underwater temples. The King Potato combines iron and gold potatoes into a meal that grants Regeneration, Resistance and Fire Resistance.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge 1.7.10 only, and the source code is available under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes the project open source.
Key features
Seven special potatoes
Seven potato items, each with a distinct status effect or explosion when eaten.
Baked potato recipes
Every special potato is crafted from a baked potato as its core ingredient, so the food chain stays tied to vanilla items.
Combined King Potato
The King Potato is made by combining an iron potato with a gold potato, linking two of the special potatoes together.
Cave, Nether and sea effects
Potions-style effects target deep caves, the Nether and underwater temples, each matched to a specific food.
