VanillaVariations
by NumberJamie
VanillaVariations adds new food items, farmland types and nether farming to the base game, while keeping the vanilla feel intact.
What it does
Players who farm in survival get new crops, food items and a farmland variant, extending the existing vanilla progression without replacing it. Nether farming is also part of the additions. The mod runs on Forge and needs both the server and every player to have it installed, for 1.20 – 1.20.1.
Key features
New food items
Adds a set of food items that join the existing vanilla food chain.
Additional farmland
Introduces new farmland blocks for growing the added crops.
Nether farming
Enables crops to be grown in the Nether, a farming option the base game does not offer.

What the author says
Enhances the vanilla experience by staying close to it while adding more content. It primarly adds new fooditems, and new farmland for all your nether-farming wants. You'll have to farm to be able to get all the new items!
