🥕 Food Effects+

Food Effects+ is a vanilla-plus gameplay mod that gives specific foods a chance to grant temporary status effects when eaten. Instead of every food always behaving the same way, common foods can occasionally proc a buff — or a rare downside — adding variety and decision-making to survival without adding new items, blocks, GUIs, or complex systems.

🍽️ How It Works

• When a player finishes eating a supported food, the mod checks that food’s configured rules.
• The mod rolls the listed chance(s).
• A single food can have multiple independent rolls.
  Example: Sweet Berries can roll Jump Boost and separately roll Nausea.
• If a roll succeeds, the corresponding status effect is applied for its configured duration.
• Foods set to None behave exactly like vanilla.

Rain boosts proc chances for water-adjacent foods like fish and kelp.

    Small visual burst for clarity.

🎯 Design Philosophy

Food Effects+ enhances survival through temporary, chance-based bonuses tied to real eating behavior. Effects are subtle, balanced, and respect vanilla progression. Powerful vanilla foods remain unchanged to preserve their special role.
