About this Mod

///INTRODUCTION///
Rationcraft adds a bunch of foods and a method of canning that I felt, alone, fit the survival theme without being too intrusive, and when paired with other mods, helps progression, adds another point for roleplay, and helps to set a modpack theme.

Currently it adds many canned varieties of vanilla foods. It also adds six new food items besides the canned ones.
Hardtack, dry sausage, roasted dry sausage, sugar candy, Scho Ka Kola, and milk Scho Ka Kola.

The idea was to make a mod that adds rations that military forces have used over the course of history.
In the future I plan to add things like: canteens, chest loot items, tweaks and balance changes, maybe medicine of some sort, support for other mods, can opening, the ability to can a large variety of item combinations, a canning machine, salt, and more.

Important

as of July 29, 2024 Voidless Framework is required for the mod to work properly

///NOTES///

The original mod is by the creator Squeekblach.
He made the version in 1.12.2 and I remade the mod in 1.20.1. Together we've implamented many of the updates he had planned. Below is a quote from him directly.

"This mod is still a work in progress, the current version is a fair bit simpler than what I would like this to become.

At the moment, saturation on each of them is a little bit wonky. It'll be fixed in a future update soon.

You have full permission to use this in any modpack you like."
