VFP: Food Dictionary

As of: version mc1.11.2-3.2b1 (Jun-2017)

The table below gives a quick overview of the more useful Forge OreDictionary mappings VanillaFoodPantry uses. In general, VFP assigns ids to common mod-interchanged ingredients like "wheat flour". VFP does NOT define ids for every single ingredient or item it contains and probably never will as this just clutters the Forge dictionary with mod-specific implementation junk.

Author's Note

Whenever possible we consider pre-existing ids that Forge already defines for standard items. We might also consider reuse of ids that popular mods or modpacks already use for easier integration but in general we use our own naming scheme in VFP. Leave suggestions and report conflicts with the mod's Issue Tracker.

Common IDs

Item	Name	Id	Description
	Wheat Flour	foodFlour	Single portion of wheat or similar flour. You get to decide what "similar" means.
	Corn Flour	foodFlourCorn	Single portion of corn flour. Often assigned to id cornmeal as well.
	Wheat Dough	foodDough	Single portion of wheat or similar dough. You get to decide what "similar" means.
	Prepared Mushroom	foodMushroom	Single-serving of cooked or raw mushroom such as a standard brown or red mushroom. Mod-specific variants should be edible without side-effects like poisoning.
	Prepared Potato	foodPotato	Single-serving of cooked potato such as a standard baked potato. Should not have side-effects like poisoning or nausea. Usually distinct from cropPotato.
	Prepared Carrot	foodCarrot	Single-serving of cooked or raw carrot such as a standard carrot. Usually defined as the raw carrot as cooked carrots are less nutritious. Often but not necessarily the same as cropCarrot.
	Portion Cheese	foodCheese	Single-serving of actual cheese like our Homemade Cheese.
	Simple Apple	foodApple	A single raw apple like the standard red apple. Does not include enchanted or otherwise special apples such as the standard golden apples or PnK's Albino Apple.

Modpack-specific IDs

	Simple Egg	foodSimpleEgg	Single raw egg similar in size to a standard chicken egg. Can be a subset of egg if your game includes a variety of egg sources.
	Egg-ish Ingredient	ingredientEgg	Single portion of egg or egg-equivalent or egg-substitute that is safe for a low cholesterol diet. Can include items like all egg-whites or flavored soy-based ingredients.
	Drying Agent	additiveDrying	Single-use drying agent ingredient. Used for food preparation so assumed to be food-safe though not necessarily something you would eat directly. Sized to produce one recipe of any food powder.
	Sweetener	ingredientSweetener	Single portion of standard sugar or a sugar-substitute that is safe for diabetic use. This mapping excludes items like honey, but might include items like a sugar-free sweetener. Not the same as Harvestcraft's listAllsugar which does not have the same restriction.
	Cheese-ish Ingredient	ingredientCheese	Single portion of cheese or cheese-equivalent or cheese-substitute. You could use, for example, a piece of cheese or powdered cheese or a vegan cheese alternative in such a recipe. Super-set of foodCheese.

Generalizations

You might find these mappings will be useful for referencing groups of VFP and other modpack foodstuffs as you configure other mods like The Spice of Life, ToughAsNails, and Smart Hoppers. The mappings are also helpful if you want to assign items that are randomish-within-a-specific-set to vending machines and loot table pools.

Id	Description
foodCookie	Any kind of single serving cookie; side-effects or special-effects ignored. Includes the standard chocolate-chip cookie and all of VFP's cookies.
foodBreadSandwich	Any bread that is suitable for making multiple (usually 3) regular sandwiches. Generally excludes specialty and "sweety deserty" breads but you should not rely on that. Often used for "jumbo-sized" sandwiches as well (1 or 2 per bread). Includes the standard wheat bread and VFP's simple breads.
foodBread	Super-set of foodBreadSandwich that includes any kind and size of bread. Basically you decide what a bread is; often the same as the bread Forge id. Nutritional values of items within this general category can vary wildly. Includes all of the VFP simple and specialty breads.
foodDrink	Any single serving bottle or cup drink such as bottled water, milk drinks, fizzy drinks, teas, juices, etc. Side-effects and special-effects are ignored (for example VFP's tonics are included). Should EXCLUDE "buckets-of-stuff" like milk buckets or items that can vary in volume like portable tanks. Even with the bucket restriction, the nutritional values of items within this category can vary wildly. Should include canteens and liquid pouches if each use of the item is equivalent to a bottle-sized portion.
foodSandwich	Any kind of single serving ready-to-eat sandwich; side-effects or special-effects ignored. Nutritional values of items within this general category can vary but in general should serve as replacements for the standard bread or roasted chicken. Includes all of VFP's sandwiches and stuffed rolls.
foodCurative	Any consumable item that has a curative side-effect; for example, VFP's bottle of milk or tulip tonic, or PnK's sedation cure. This category allows you to easily select the modpack's food items that a player should be able to consume at any time (as affected by hunger or food management mods like TAN or SpiceOfLife).
