About this project

What does Food Spoilage add?

Food Spoilage introduces a comprehensive food preservation system that makes food management a strategic part of survival gameplay. All food items gradually decay over time, but you have multiple ways to preserve them and extend their shelf life.

🍎 Dynamic Food Decay System

  • All food items gradually lose freshness over time
    • Visual feedback with colored overlays on items (hotbar & inventory)
    • Detailed tooltips showing freshness percentage - Spoiled food converts to rotten flesh

❄️ Preservation Methods

Ice-based freezing: Place ice blocks in containers with food to freeze it

Modded refrigerators: Compatible with furniture mods (configurable)

Container-based preservation: Different containers have different decay rates

Underground storage: Items stored deep underground decay slower (Done!!)

🧊 Freezing & Thawing

  • Frozen food doesn't decay
  • Ice consumption system (realistic resource management)
  • Automatic thawing when removed from cold storage
  • Thawing items become edible after configured time

🎨 **Visual Indicators**

  • Color-coded overlays on items:
    • 🟢 Green: Fresh (100-75%)
    • 🟡 Yellow: Stale (75-50%)
    • 🟠 Orange: Spoiling (50-25%)
    • 🔴 Red: Rotten (25-0%)
    • 🔵 Blue: Frozen
    • 🟣 Purple: Thawing

🌍 **Seasonal Integration**

Full compatibility with Serene Seasons, Food decays faster in summer, slower in winter – Configurable seasonal multipliers. Possibly also with Ecliptic Seasons

⚙️ **Highly Configurable**

  • Custom decay rates per item (minecraft:egg|1.5)
    • Whitelist/blacklist for spoilable items
    • Container preservation multipliers
    • Configurable refrigerator blocks
    • Seasonal multipliers
    • Ice consumption rates
    • Everything is customizable!

🌐 **Translations** Currently available in: - English - Spanish (Español)

Important : The mod will not have versions below 1.20.1 and no new features will be added, only bug fixes and/or issue corrections. The mod will be updated soon to Neoforge 1.21.1+.
