You Are My Poison!
by Nikk452
Nikk452's You Are My Poison! lets a player secretly mix potions into food so that eating it applies the potion effect to the eater.
What it does
Poisoning happens by right-clicking with a potion in the offhand while holding a food item in the main hand. The potion's effect is carried onto the food, so the player can give it to friends, pets or enemies without anyone noticing the change. The mod also reports changes to the food item's tooltip in a limited way, and tooltips hide the item's internal data counts, so a food item looks unchanged from the outside.
The mod is completely server-side, so the server needs it and players join without installing anything. Clients that also run it gain some extra hand movements during the potion action. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license, so it is not open source. Files exist for Fabric and Forge across 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, with the latest builds dated 2024-01-07. Fabric builds require Fabric API version 0.91.0.
Key features
Potion-tainted food
A potion held in the offhand can be applied to food held in the main hand with a single right-click.
Hidden effects
Tainted food looks unchanged in its tooltip, so the effect is not visible until someone eats it.
Stacked potion effects
A lingering potion applies its effect to the entire stack rather than to one item, and many effects can be added to food.
Client hand animations
When the mod is also installed on a client, the potion action shows extra hand movements.

What the author says
A small mod that allows you to secretly add potions to any food, troll your friends or enemies while mixing some poison to their food without them knowing! Just right click with any potion in offhand with your food in main hand and it would do the trick but be aware that it may produces some noise, so do it in secret
