Joe's Better Berries

Joe's Better Berries

I have always thought that the Sweet Berries added in 1.14 were a bit lacking, and needed to be expanded on a bit. Warning, this mod is probably not balanced, and I would appreciate feedback. Thank you!

About this Mod

Intro

When Minecraft version 1.14 was released with the Sweet Berry, I had been hoping Mojang would add more uses for the berries. However, it has been almost 5 years since 1.14 was released, so I'm guessing they aren't going to be adding any new uses for berries anytime soon. So, I decided to create this very simple mod.

Items

Roasted Berries:

Roasted Berries are very easy to make. All you need is a campfire... and some berries. They cook in half the time other items do, and you also eat them twice as fast as regular food items. They do 1 and a half bars of hunger, which is half a bar better than regular berries, and you didn't even have to use any fuel roasting them!

Empty Jar:

The empty jar is used to craft sweet berry jam. It does not currently have any other uses.

Sweet Berry Jam:

Sweet berry jam is primarily an item used in other crafting recipes, although you can eat it. It doesn't fill much hunger, and it takes twice as long to eat as regular food items. But I mean if you really want to...

Sweet Berry Pie:

The sweet berry pie takes quite a few berries to craft. However, it does fill a good amount of hunger, and besides who doesn't like a good pie?

Golden Berries:

Golden berries are the younger sibling of the golden carrot. They require half as much gold, and they are a little bit worse. Eating them takes half the time normal food items require. They provide 2 bars of hunger and just a little bit less saturation than golden carrots.

Conclusion:

This is the first mod I've ever released. Please provide feedback on anything I could improve. My goal with this mod was to make new food items that didn't break the game's food balance. I didn't want any of these items to be like the objectively best food in the game, otherwise, thats all anybody would ever use. I wanted to add some options for variety. Thank you for reading this, I hope this mod provides some amount of fun or variety to your game. Thank you!
