Nutritional Converter

What it does
Anything you can eat goes in and comes out as paste, scaled by that food’s hunger value. Bread, steak, golden carrots, dishes from other mods, all of them convert. You stop worrying about what to do with a chest full of mismatched food.

The paste goes into buckets you carry with you. Drinking refills hunger and saturation in one go, using only what you actually need and leaving the rest in the bucket for later. A single bucket holds ten thousand millibuckets by default, roughly two hundred points of nutrition.

Four things it does
It gathers food for you. Put a chest or a hopper directly above and the machine pulls items out on its own, so you never have to feed it piece by piece.

It needs no power. No cables, no fuel. It simply runs once placed.

Its speed is adjustable. Triple the usual rate out of the box, and you can push it higher in the configuration.

Its tank is adjustable. One hundred thousand millibuckets by default, ten times the usual. When the tank is full it quietly waits, so nothing is converted and wasted.

Interface and use
Craft it from iron ingots, glass, a bucket and redstone. Opening it gives you two areas: food goes on the left, your paste bucket goes in the upper right, and finished buckets come out at the lower right.

If the bucket you insert is not full, the machine tops up whatever is missing and then moves it to the output slot, so you can feed it bucket after bucket. If the bucket you insert is already full, it is passed straight to the output slot with every millibucket left untouched.

The mod never treats your paste bucket as an ingredient. The machine only ever adds to your bucket, never takes from it.

Configuration
Open it from the Config button in the mod list. There is no keybind involved.

The screen has two columns. Pick a setting on the left, drag the slider on the right, and the change is saved immediately; no restart is needed.

The look follows the translucent dark two-column style, and every entry is labelled in Chinese followed by English in parentheses, so players of either language can tell at a glance what each setting does.

Settings are split into two groups for six entries in total. The machine group covers the speed multiplier, the tank capacity, the paste produced per hunger point, the food slot capacity, and the auto-pull toggle. The bucket group has one entry, the amount of paste a single bucket holds.

You can also edit the file directly at config/liquifier-common.toml. The screen and the file read and write the same values.
