The Food That Once Was

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.17–1.18. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This mod is still a work in progress. More food items are too be added.
This mod adds a ton of food items into the game that are made the vanilla way, every item can be obtained from vanilla items and blocks in the game.

All seeds from the mod can be obtained from grass and some items can be obtained from tree leaves.

If there are any problems or you want to see something added in, just leave a comment down below or go to the issues tab.

A wiki page will be made for this mod in the future, for now, I recommend using Roughly Enough Items(fabric) to know the recipes.
