About this Mod

title text

Upgraded food is a mod that lets you craft a mid-game block, the Food Upgrader.

When regular cooked food items (and a few others) are dropped on top of the Food Upgrader,they transform into upgraded versions of themselves, giving the player unique effects for each item plus more hunger and saturation regained!!

e.g; Beetroot Soup --> Upgraded Beetroot Soup, which gives you 8 extra hearts (almost an entire second health bar!) and way more hunger and saturation when consumed!!

the aim of the mod is to encourage players to grow and farm a bunch of different foods without punishing the player (like that "nutritional balance" mod that some modpacks have, which sucks), instead granting useful special effects, i also wanted to make the gameplay loop of minecraft a little more fun and less monotonous by letting you play differently in the mid/end game with food! :3 I really hope this makes the game more fun for you!!
