UsefulFood Community
by skniro
UsefulFood Community adds more than 70 food items to Minecraft Forge, including juices, smoothies, pies, sandwiches, soups and ice cream.
What it does
The mod adds a large variety of food to the game, aiming to give players many useful dishes to make without changing the feel of vanilla survival. Its recipes are deliberately complicated, so food takes effort to prepare. Squids also drop new items, giving the food supply another source.
Players who want more meals to cook than vanilla offers will find the mod's range useful. Because it runs on both the client and the server, a server needs it installed and every player needs it as well. Installation requires Minecraft Forge; no other loader is supported.
The project is published for Minecraft Forge across four release versions, 1.9.4 – 1.12.2, and the latest file, 1.5.0-1.12.2-Forge, targets 1.12.2. The code is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which places it in the public domain, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
