Venaticulinaries
Venaticulinaries adds German dishes such as Schnitzel, Brezels, Krapfen and Doughnuts to Minecraft, along with several new craftable food items.
What it does
The mod brings traditional German cuisine into the game through new food variants, mostly German items, including Schnitzel, Brezels, Krapfen and Doughnuts. Each food is craftable, and its recipe is balanced for survival play so that no item becomes overpowered. Item textures are drawn to sit naturally alongside vanilla items, which keeps the new foods consistent with the rest of the game.
The goal is to give players new items to cook for a role-play survival style of play. The author plans to add more foods and recipes over time. Only the Fabric loader is supported, and the current release is 0.3.0 for 1.21.1, published on the beta channel. Clients and servers both run the mod, so every player on a server needs it too. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, though its source code is public.

How it compares
Expanded Food is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and targets 1.21.8 – 1.21.10, while Venaticulinaries targets only 1.21.1. Yuns Cuisine covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, so it overlaps this version, but it is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Murgers is also not open source and targets 1.20.6 – 1.21, which ends before 1.21.1. All alternatives are client and server mods on Fabric, like this one.
