The next patch I'm releasing will add proper food and farming, since there's literally only porkchops and carrots so that it is at least playable

what ideas do you have for food/crops so far?

for now, probably just wheat, cabbage, beans and potatoes, although I think I'd like to add simple fishing back in as well

do you have an idea on how seeds would be obtained? I assume you removed wheat seed drops from grass I think default crop growth could be slowed down with there being new ways of increasing yield/speed fertilized soil, for example or certain crops could help with other crops' growth, like I suggested in the github or different crops require different conditions to grow this could also incentize actual hunting/gathering in the early game, where you would need to develop more advanced farming techniques before you could completely rely on crops for food due to how slow and low quality things are by default

yeah i want something like fertilizer essentially, where you can fertilize a crop to increase yield or growth rate for one harvest, and crops may grow better in different soils as well! Eventually I'd like to dabble with seasons in which case crops would only be growable at certain times of the year.

YOU'RE TAKING CONTROL OF THE WORLD

I actually had different soil types in my mod once but due to my inability to do anything with java, I removed it for simplicity

for the crops, maybe different types of bone meal? Like real compost things, with Tree leaves, or even everything vegetal? For example, bone meal only for a better growth speed, and compost can be harvested, and being a better soil than the vanilla one?

yeah i think a compost crafting line would be interesting to make resources for, and provide use to waste products of food/farming

yep

and that could easily tie into metal progression

wdym?

you could just make the composter require ingots

but you could make a composter out of wood

Will take a look

I think after iron progression, it may be possible to do less realistic progression for everything like anything relating to diamonds and the nether is magical in some way so at that point, you could perhaps even use things like enchantments or potions which I have never seen implemented in a progression mod before

plans after iron are for steel, and then a few types of steel. Once that's established there may be some magic and nethery stuff involved

I was going to suggest something with having later stage materials being more specialized rather than being a direct upgrade but idk how to go into more detail on that

h m m s t perhAps I could create an assortment of concept textures for food and crops the things I made for my own mod were from like a year ago

you can if you'd like to, I already have the foods i mentioned above from an older mod that never got finished but if you have any ideas then knock yourself out I won't complain

Add baguettes. Real breads.

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/dooglamoo-worlds this is the mod I was referencing earlier

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/food-funk and this is another old mod with a blessed idea that I think I mentioned earlier as well it adds food decay mechanics

You should add cancer

oh god

bruh
