YAWYE - You are what you eat

by MajorMilk

YAWYE - You are what you eat changes what eating does: each food gives its own beneficial status effect, and a few foods carry a risk.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.5

What it does

Food items apply status effects when eaten, and each food applies a different one. Cooked beef grants resistance, cooked fish grants water breathing and dolphin's grace, and baked potatoes grant haste for faster mining. Several other foods are covered as well, so the effects are not limited to these three.

Some foods are trade-offs rather than pure bonuses. Eating raw meat has a chance to cause nausea or poisoning, and zombie flesh grants strength together with poison alongside its vanilla effects. The logic runs at the end of vanilla eating and is injected with a mixin, which keeps the change to a single function.

The mod runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.21.5 and needs Fabric API. Because it is server-side only, players join without installing it and only the server needs the mod. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code published.

Key features

  1. Food-specific effects

    Each food applies its own beneficial status effect when eaten, so the choice of food matters.

  2. Risky foods

    Raw meat can cause nausea or poisoning, and zombie flesh adds strength together with poison.

  3. Single-function change

    The mod is limited to one function: adding effects to eating, applied at the end of vanilla eating logic.

  4. Mixin-based logic

    The eating logic is injected into the game with a mixin rather than replacing vanilla code.

What the author says

A very simple implementation of a mod idea I heard on youtube shorts. Overall, this mod is very simple (it could be a single function.) All the mod does is inject some logic at the end of minecrafts vanilla finish using logic using a mixin.
