Food Spoilage

Food Spoilage introduces a comprehensive food preservation system that makes food management a strategic part of survival gameplay. All food items gradually decay over time, but you have multiple ways to preserve them and extend their shelf life.

 

🍎 Dynamic Food Decay System

• All food items gradually lose freshness over time
•  - Visual feedback with colored overlays on items (hotbar & inventory)
• - Detailed tooltips showing freshness percentage - Spoiled food converts to rotten flesh

❄️ Preservation Methods

Ice-based freezing: Place ice blocks in containers with food to freeze it

 Modded refrigerators: Compatible with furniture mods (configurable)

 Container-based preservation: Different containers have different decay rates

Underground storage: Items stored deep underground decay slower (Done!!)

 

🧊 Freezing & Thawing

• Frozen food doesn't decay
•  Ice consumption system (realistic resource management)
•  Automatic thawing when removed from cold storage
•  Thawing items become edible after configured time

 

🎨 **Visual Indicators**

• Color-coded overlays on items:
• - 🟢 Green: Fresh (100-75%)
• - 🟡 Yellow: Stale (75-50%)
• - 🟠 Orange: Spoiling (50-25%)
• - 🔴 Red: Rotten (25-0%)
• - 🔵 Blue: Frozen
• - 🟣 Purple: Thawing

🌍 **Seasonal Integration**

 Full compatibility with Serene Seasons, Food decays faster in summer, slower in winter – Configurable seasonal multipliers. Possibly also with Ecliptic Seasons

 

⚙️ **Highly Configurable**

• Custom decay rates per item (`minecraft:egg|1.5`)
• - Whitelist/blacklist for spoilable items
• - Container preservation multipliers
• - Configurable refrigerator blocks
• - Seasonal multipliers
• - Ice consumption rates
• - Everything is customizable!
