Food Classifications - regfunkid/reg-more-foods GitHub Wiki

Reg's More Foods has 6 types of foods: Entrées, Starters, Appetizers, Sides, Drinks, and Ingredients. These classifications have no in-game uses, but are referenced on this Wiki as well as in the in-game Gourmand's Digest Cookbook.

[!NOTE] Minecraft divides the Hunger system into two parts: Hunger Points (also known as Nutrition), and a hidden value called Saturation (which is what grants healing from eating food). Both are made up of 20 "points", with 2 points being 1 full "bar". The visual for a full Hunger Bar on this Wiki is shown as the "🍗" emoji. If a food is shown as having 5 🍗, that means it restores 5 Hunger Bars/10 Nutrition.

Entrées

(4.5+ 🍗/ >9 Nutrition) Entrées are foods that are large enough to be considered meals on their own. Typically, eating an Entrée will be enough to fill 50% or more of a player's hunger bar from empty, but won't provide much in the way of Saturation. Consuming an Entrée is normally slower than other foods.

Starters

(4-3.5 🍗/ 8-7 Nutrition) Starters are foods that are similar to Entrées, with the difference being that a player may need to eat a second or third Starter to completely top off their hunger bar. However, they usually provide more Saturation. Typically eaten before or after an Entrée to ensure maximum healing.

Appetizers

(🔁) An Appetizer is, in the interests of this pack, a snack or dessert. Appetizers share the trait of being able to be eaten regardless of the player's current hunger level, like a Golden Apple. Appetizers tend to also be able to be eaten faster than other foods, making them great for loading up on before topping off with a Starter or an Entrée to stack up a lot of Saturation, making regenerating a lot of health easier to do. An important note is that some Appetizers are better than others for the sake of healing. It's hard to stuff yourself with Brownies optimally in a battle.

Sides

(<3 🍗/ <6 Nutrition) Sides are foods that don't fit the other categories, in that they don't restore enough to be an Entrée or Starter, and can't be eaten at any time. They're like the awkward middle child of the classification family. Any food that simply isn't in any other category is automatically a Side, regardless of how many Hunger Points they restore.

Drinks

(🥛) Drinks are... drinks. Any food that can be consumed in a bottle or other drinking-apparatus is a Drink. Not all Drinks can be consumed at any time, but they are still classified as Drinks simply because they are consumed as a liquid. Drinks are the only food that play a specific drinking sound effect when consumed--an example of something that is not a Drink is Yogurt. If it sounds like a Honey Bottle when you consume it, it's not a Drink!

Ingredients

(🍅) If the food can be used to make other foods, it's an Ingredient. Typically shares attributes with Sides, which may become confusing. An item is NOT an Ingredient if it's only used to craft 1 item--for example, a Coconut isn't an Ingredient, because it's only used to make Coconut Chunks. Cheese is an Ingredient because it has more than one crafting recipe.

Ingredients (usually) share the trait of having small or next to miniscule amounts of nutrition/saturation, essentially making them terrible foods on their own. Unless you're starving, you're better off using an Ingredient to cook with.
