About this Mod

History
FoodBundler was inspired by efeketket's Stackraft. I wanted to change a few things, and of course, bring it up to date with 1.21.5. I was also looking for a good place to sink my teeth into this whole datapack thing, so off I went. This is the result. My first datapack (so be gentle), and basically a complete rewrite of the original. In the spirit of the good will of modding and all that, I've maintained the original license in this datapack as well.
Description
So what does it do? It allows you to compress most food related items into a 9:1 stackable block. Think, basically, exactly like a hay bale, but for all the remaining food items as well. Removed from the original are the non-food items, like gunpowder, that Stackraft gave recipes for as well. I wanted to stick to food items, so those have been removed. I've also added some that were notably missing from the original as well, and included most seeds too.
Instructions
- Getting a full stack of the compress-able items will give you an advancement and the recipe.
- Uncompress an item by holding it in your hand and right click (use) to pop the uncompressed items into your inventory
Support
Thanks so much to NiceRon and the crew at the Explorer's Eden for kindly allowing me to use their Discord as a place to park my butt and provide chat support for this datapack. They've been incredibly helpful and patient as I learn how this stuff all works and providing mentoring!
