Very Basic Foods
by teamlads100
Very Basic Foods is a Forge food mod that adds new dishes made only from ingredients already in the base game.
What it does
The mod adds more food to Minecraft using only base game ingredients and existing crafting, so no new tools or materials are introduced. Dishes such as sugar cookies, scrambled eggs and cheese are made from vanilla materials, and the set includes cooked apples and loaded potatoes. It also lets players unpoison potatoes. Recipes can be found in the food recipes gallery tab.
Client and server: both the server and every player need the mod. It is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.19.2, and the code is covered by All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

Foods from base ingredients

The added foods give players more choices both in the early game and later in a survival world.
Unpoisoning potatoes
Poisonous potatoes can be made safe to eat, expanding what the vanilla crop provides.
