The Beefy Update

Each steak in the mod is a food item with a practical effect. Chorus Steak restores health like Chorus Fruit and can be eaten at any hunger level, while Golden Steak gives stronger effects than a regular steak. Bucket Steak starts with three pieces and can be enchanted with Unbreaking and Mending, which lets the supply almost renew itself. Each meal of Mystery Steak picks an effect at random, along with a random length and strength, so the result changes every time.

Several steaks provide utility or risk. Coal Steak works as an edible fuel source. Crafting Steak opens a portable crafting menu that stays open after eating, and the menu has to be opened again once it closes. Furnace Steak smelts items in the player's inventory, but slowly and inefficiently. Dynamite Steak explodes when eaten, leaving a small amount of resistance that can help the player survive a chain reaction. Fiery Steak grants Fire Resistance and shoots a fireball from the mouth that can destroy blocks, so it needs care.

The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It is published for Forge only, and the single game version it targets is 1.18.2. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The source code is publicly available.
