Golden Potato
Highly customizable mod that adds golden vegetable variants with command powers for players and mod pack developers
⬇ Download on Modrinth


This highly configurable mod is made with modpacks in mind and attempts to remedy a long-standing balance issue: the /back, /home, and (to a lesser extent) /rtp commands. These commands, while useful, often cheapen deaths and encourage a riskier playstyle that some modpack devs and players may not like.
Introducing: the golden potato.

When consumed, this will teleport the user back to their last death. By default, it is crafted with a potato surrounded in gold (similar to other vanilla golden foods). It can be configured to cost gold-blocks (enchanted-variant), to be uncraftable and only available as loot, or disabled entirely. These configs are true for all three foods in this mod.

The golden spud, crafted using a poisonous potato and an emerald in addition to gold, teleports the player to the last bed they slept in.

The golden chorus fruit randomly teleports you somewhere safe within 5000 blocks.
The golden potato can be found in villages; the golden spud in ancient cities; and the golden chorus fruit in end cities (configurable). I would highly suggest you read the config file for this mod as there are other factors as well that can be changed.
