Vanilla Food Expanded
Vanilla Food Expanded adds muffins, fried eggs and other vanilla-style dishes to the food tree, with recipes that use ingredients players already gather.
What it does
The mod adds a set of cooked and baked foods in the style of vanilla Minecraft. Muffins are the main addition: a Berry Muffin is crafted from sweet berries and wheat paper, a Chocolate Muffin from cocoa beans and wheat paper, and a Glowberry Muffin from glow berries and wheat paper. Each later muffin gives a slightly better result than the one before it.
Eggs are also reworked into food. Chicken, turtle and dragon eggs can be cooked in a furnace, campfire or smoker to produce a Fried Egg, a Fried Turtle Egg or a Fried Dragon Egg. Cooked meats give less nutrition but more saturation than in vanilla, so the new dishes take on a different role in the hunger system.
Only the server needs the mod, and players can join without installing it. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack for servers. Files cover the 1.21.9 – 26.3 range, and the latest builds target 26.3. The code is not open source; the author releases it under All rights reserved.

What the author says
Just put the zipped file into your worlds datapacks folder AND your resource pack folder. If it says it is outdated, ignore the message. As long as you are on the version you put in when downloading it will work. The datapack will show up as incompatible but it will work anyway. Muffins are a good alternative to…
