Description

Ore Food

Turn minerals into edible beefs. One item, five mineral tiers; five food enchantments that grant potion effects based on enchantment level. Eating consumes durability instead of the item, so one beef can be eaten many times.

Platforms: Forge 1.20.1, NeoForge 1.21.1, NeoForge 26.1.2

What it adds

One item: Ore Food

orefood:ore_food is the mod's only item. All beefs share the same item ID but have different names, textures, and stats.

Beef Hunger Saturation Durability Enchantability
Copper Beef 6 9.6 8 1
Iron Beef 8 12.8 16 1
Gold Beef 8 16.0 32 5
Diamond Beef 10 20.0 64 10
Netherite Beef 12 24.0 128 15

Durability means remaining bites. Each bite costs 1 durability; when it reaches 0, the beef is consumed. Iron Beef can be eaten 16 times; Netherite Beef, 128 times. They do not stack. In Creative mode, eating does not consume durability.

All values are data-pack driven: change one line, re-enter the world, and it takes effect.

Five food enchantments

These apply only to edible items. Effects trigger when the food is eaten.

Enchantment Max Level Effect
Potent Recovery 4 Instant Health + Regeneration. Effect level equals enchantment level; Regeneration lasts level × 5 seconds.
Adrenaline 3 Strength (level × 5s) + Speed (level × 10s).
Vitality 5 Absorption (scales with enchantment level) + Resistance II (40% damage reduction), duration level × 20s.
Satiety 3 Restores level × 2 extra hunger.
Feast 3 Saturation, 1 minute per level. Treasure enchantment.

Crafting

Beefs upgrade tier by tier. Each recipe uses 8 matching minerals around the previous tier beef.

Result Materials (8) Center
Copper Beef Copper Ingots Vanilla Beef
Iron Beef Iron Ingots Copper Beef
Gold Beef Gold Ingots Iron Beef
Diamond Beef Diamonds Gold Beef
Netherite Beef Smithing Table: Netherite Upgrade Template + Netherite Ingot Diamond Beef

The center slot must be the correct previous tier. Using the wrong tier produces nothing.

How to use

  1. Get beefs from the Creative Food & Drinks tab.
  2. Enchant:
    • Potent Recovery, Adrenaline, Vitality, and Satiety are normal enchantments (enchanting table, villagers, loot).
    • Feast is treasure-only (loot, librarian, similar to Mending).
  3. Eat: hold right-click. Each bite consumes 1 durability and triggers effects.
  4. Hover the beef to see effects, levels, and durations in the tooltip, formatted like vanilla potions.
