I first discovered this mod through playing a modpack, and I remember finding the nether fruit making the experience of staying in the nether for extended periods much more enjoyable. Rambutan especially was my favourite, and the shield is actually a really interesting and useful item.

The integration with Farmer's Delight and Create is small, but definitely appreciated. The potion brewing is definitely a unique addition, however the cures are a lot more expensive than milk in most cases.

However, when you realise this is an MCreator mod like I did, after experiencing more crashes than is reasonable for a small food mod, you'll understand why I cannot give this mod a higher rating in good faith. This mod caused many, sometimes random issues and mod incompatibility was far higher than it should be for a mod like this. Additionally, some of the content just feels weird, like the full armour and tool set made out of a fruit that almost looks like cheese?

Overall, interesting mod, if this was made not using MCreator then I would be able to recommend it. If you want to try it, take regular world backups and play it in a smaller pack.
