Ore Food

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).

1. Eat: hold right-click. Each bite consumes 1 durability and triggers effects.
2. Hover the beef to see effects, levels, and durations in the tooltip, formatted like vanilla potions.
