Stew tweaks
by asny
Stew tweaks changes how soup and stew stack and which ingredients go into them, with a few recipe and village-trade adjustments.
What it does
Stew tweaks reworks the crafting recipes for stew and soup, so that soup stews can stack up to 16 in a slot and beetroot soup no longer needs six beetroots for a single bowl. Potato-based and rabbit-based stews take different ingredients than in vanilla, and a jacket potato with cooked rabbit stands in for one of the older recipes.
Rabbit stews and mushroom stews keep their existing trade and mooshroom sources but are made stackable through a data pack, since those items cannot be changed by recipes alone. Villagers in plains, savanna, snow, desert and taiga villages are changed by the mod, so the stew trades they offer differ from vanilla in those biomes.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the data pack variant available on server platforms. Files exist only for 1.21.4. The server must run the mod, while a player who installs it gets the same behavior locally and a player who does not still joins. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Stackable stews
Soup stews stack up to 16 per slot, so players can carry more food in one inventory space.
Rebalanced beetroot soup
Beetroot soup needs fewer beetroots than vanilla, removing an inconvenient ingredient cost.
Alternative potato recipe
A jacket potato and cooked rabbit can be used in place of an older stew recipe.
Biome-specific village trades
Stew trades from villagers in several village biomes are changed, including plains, savanna, snow, desert and taiga.

What the author says
Rebalances soup and stew recipies, and makes them stackable up to 16! Six beetroots for one soup is very unfair! So now there are three. Additionally, can now be found in plain, savanna and snow villages.
