What it does

The Edibles makes items edible through a data pack, so the change is made by datapack files rather than by Java code in the mod. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the data pack form is also listed as available for servers. Builds exist for 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1, 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9 and 1.21.8, in a range of 1.21.8 – 26.2.

Server owners who want an edible-item setup without loading a full mod can use the datapack form, which the author describes as more dependable than the mod. Because the environment is server required with the client optional, the server must run the mod or data pack, while players may add it but do not need to. The code is available under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license, and the project is not open source; it has a public issue tracker.

Key features

Edible items
Single items can be set to act as food, so a chosen item can be eaten once a datapack is loaded.
Data pack form
The same effect is offered as a data pack for servers that prefer not to add a mod to their installation.
Datapack-first design
The author recommends the data pack form over the mod form, citing problems with the mod build.
Public issue tracker
A public issue tracker is linked, so reports about the datapack or the mod can be filed there.
