SpiceOfLife: Latiao
by XieDeWu
SpiceOfLife: Latiao is a NeoForge food mod that adds three extra mechanics to the Spice of Life series, with settings that scale how much food players need as their game progresses.
What it does
Latiao extends the Spice of Life series with three new mechanics, each with its own configuration. The default settings are deliberately demanding: food requirements rise noticeably in the mid and late game, which suits players who want a long, farming-focused survival run where large quantities of stored food get eaten.
The mod also brings quality-of-life additions. Food containers, apple peel support through AppleSkin, and Jade integration that displays food information on blocks are included, along with AFK hunger protection and automatic feeding through Sophisticated Backpacks. Its ideas draw on Spice Life Hunger Overhaul and MITE.
Latiao runs on NeoForge on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with source code and an issue tracker published. Files exist for 1.21.1 only, with 1.4.9 as the latest, and optional dependencies such as Farmer's Delight, Serene Seasons and Kaleidoscope Cookery are listed.
