About this Mod
This mod is not a fork of Spice of Life, but the content is similar. Instead of a policy of rewarding and encouraging eating, which is common, it encourages eating by debuffing.
Overview
This mod increases the difficulty of managing food in Minecraft by introducing mechanics that decrease food recovery values the more you consume the same item. It adds both short-term and long-term food debuffs, making food choices more strategic. Also, add a basket that can carry more than one food item.
Short-Term Food Debuff
If you eat the same food within the last 5 meals, the following debuffs will occur:
- 1st time: 100% recovery (normal)
- 2nd time: 90% recovery
- 3rd time: 75% recovery
- 4th time: 50% recovery
- 5th time: 05% recovery
This is considered the short-term debuff.
Long-Term Food Debuff
Over time, the more you consume a specific food, its recovery will decrease by 1% per consumption, up to a history of 100 meals. This simulates a long-term debuff.
Items added
Baskets should contain multiple food items. It can be opened by right-clicking.
Basket:It can hold 9 stacks of food.

Large Basket:It can hold 9 stacks of food. Right click to eat the food inside. Compatible with AppleSkin.

Configurable Settings
All debuff values, as well as the number of meals tracked for the history, are configurable through the config file. These settings are world-specific, so you can adjust them per save file.
Mod Compatibility
- AppleSkin: This mod is fully compatible with AppleSkin. Changes to the food recovery will be reflected in the HUD. It also displays the amount of Wicker Basket recovery.
- Farmer's Delight: While tested and working with Farmer's Delight, full compatibility is not guaranteed.
