About

Description

  • True Diet stays mostly true to vanilla by just giving food purpose.
  • Does not add a full complex tree of nutrition, but rather a simple to follow tier system.
  • Adds Only 5 golden versions of the actual vanilla foods, to give golden carrots and golden apples something to compete with.

Features

1. Symmetrical Food Intake & Saturation Ladder

Food is calibrated into a strict, balanced intake hierarchy with 1:1 intake velocity parity between quick foraging snacks and hearty meals:

Tier Saturation Representative Foods
Tier 1 (Fast) 4 Sweet Berries, Glow Berries, Dried Kelp, Beetroot
Tier 1 (Slow) 8 Raw Potato, Cooked Chicken, Cooked Porkchop
Tier 2 10 Cooked Mutton, Cooked Cod, Carrot, Melon Slice
Bread 10 Bread
Tier 3 12 Cooked Beef, Cooked Salmon, Baked Potato, Apple
Tier 4 (Gold Nugget) 14 Golden Mutton, Golden Cod, Golden Carrot, Glistering Melon
Tier 5 (Gold Ingot) 16 Golden Steak, Golden Salmon, Golden Baked Potato, Golden Apple

Enchanted Golden Apple: Remains at the Top with 16 Saturation like the Golden Apple while keeping all of its vanilla combat buffs.

Why is Porkchop Tier 1? I liked the golden mutton texture more than the porkchop one when creating them and had to fill a T1 spot. (Besides why are you killing pigs ?)

2. Profession Graces & Utilities

Golden foods grant dedicated utilities with strict mutual exclusivity (eating across pillars replaces; Tier 2 cleanly upgrades Tier 1):

  • Miner's Grace (Golden Carrot / Golden Baked Potato): Deepslate instamining when paired with Haste II & Efficiency V. (Tier 2)
  • Builder's Grace (Golden Cod / Golden Salmon): Extends block placement and attack reach up to +3.0 blocks.
  • Blacksmith's Grace (Golden Mutton / Golden Steak): Discounts anvil XP costs by 33% (Tier 1) or completely bypasses the 40-level "Too Expensive!" limit (Tier 2).

3. The Domestic Hearth Rituals

Kindle any lit campfire with 1 Wheat to prepare a hearth. Consuming wholesome stews at the kindled hearth will start a hearth ritual :

  • Pilgrim's Veil (Rabbit Stew): The hearth emits an inventory/armor repair pulse every 60 seconds.
  • Shepherd's Veil (Mushroom Stew): Repels hostile monsters, grants wildlife sanctuary, and invites cozy foxes to curl up and sleep safely by the fire.
  • Hearth Rituals are a temporary beacon emitting from the Campfire with a 10min timer.
  • Hearth Rituals will apply some debuffs on the player (Think of them as a downtime phase).
  • Players who leave the ritual range will lose all buffs and debuffs (just like a beacon).

4. Agrarian Soil Preservative

  • Right-click dry farmland with a Poisonous Potato to permanently preserve it.
  • Keeps soil fully moist, and trample-proof.

Installation

  1. Install NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1 (recommended: 21.1.250+).
  2. Drop truediet-1.0.0.jar into your .minecraft/mods folder.
  3. Launch the game.
