PostsWhile Minecraft offers plenty of fine food choices, a time will come when you want to spice things up a little. The good news? With these food mods, you have enough options to keep you fed and happy for a long while.
Updated May 5, 2025, by William Quick: With the Minecraft movie looming on the horizon, as ominous as that might sound to many fans of the series, many of us are returning to its pure form as an open sandbox game where you can harvest and build so many things out of blocks. Part of Minecraft's popularity and expansion is thanks to the community that brought people together to play, create, and share all the incredible things they've worked on. Among those things are mods that can change everything, including all the different foods you can make and eat. Check these mods out to add more to the Minecraft menu.
16 Sushi Go Crafting

If you haven't played the card game Sushi Go, take a few minutes to do so, and then come back to appreciate the Sushi Go Crafting mod. It gives you the power to make sushi in Minecraft. Considering how much fishing you can do, it makes sense that you can finally craft the fish into new delights.
A bit of a challenge goes into making sushi, as you must find the best ingredients to go together. When you land on the best combinations, you'll reap the restorative benefits and bonus effects that can help you when you're out in the field.
15 Crabber's Delight

Crabs are not the easiest to eat and enjoy, but there can be some fun when you're not worried about the mess. Of course, you first need to catch crabs, which is done with a crab trap introduced with the Crabber's Delight mod. Your seafood menu just expanded!
Combine this with the Farmer's Delight mod, and you'll get access to a range of new crab-based and crab-inclusive recipes as you build and lay crab traps throughout the different waters. You'll catch higher-quality crabs depending on how much bait you put in the traps.
14 Create: Blazing Hot

Once you reach the point where you can start smelting things, you're in a pretty good spot to begin making high-quality gear and objects out of metal... But what if you could make metal FOOD? With the Create: Blazing Hot mod, the mechanics have been tweaked so you can do more metalwork.
Once you have the system set up, you'll be able to create a range of metal Apples and Carrots that not only look shiny but have helpful effects when you eat them. Depending on their metal coloring, they'll affect different stats, which can be extremely handy when exploring the more dangerous areas of the world.
13 Golden Foods!

Food Expansion: Reimagined, created by raulsmartin, is a simple mod that provides a lot of variety. Vanilla foods and ingredients can now be changed into something new - cactus to cactus fruit, pork chop to bacon, slime, sugar to green jelly, and so many more. This mod is perfect if you don't want to add new plants and trees to the world but still want new kinds of food.
You'll also be able to get food from mob drops, like horse meat, bat wings, and wolf meat. You can even make rotten flesh edible! No material goes to waste with this mod.
11 Waffle's Placeable Foods

Why are cakes place-able and edible, but everything else has to be held? WilliamWaffle decided to make better use of that odd mechanic with Waffle's Placeable Foods. This mod offers about a dozen new foods, including hot chocolate, hamburgers, pocky, marshmallows, and more.
You can put these foods on the floor and eat them the same way you would cake or hold them and eat them while you run. Some foods also offer new status effects. It's a fun mod that adds a little flavor to your game.
10 Crafty Cuisine

Crafty Cuisine by RandomMcSomethin is another simple but great mod that adds new foods made from vanilla foods. In RandomMcSomethin's words, the mod is meant to "fill in the natural cracks in the food system." It aims to use as many vanilla resources as possible, trying to prevent a backlog of useless resources later in the game.
The mod also avoids adding too many resources, attempting to make the recipes as vanilla-friendly as possible. It wants to expand on vanilla offerings rather than introduce completely new ones.
9 Pam's HarvestCraft 2
Pam's HarvestCraft 2 - Food Core by pamharvestcraft- Download Pam's HarvestCraft 2 - Food Core by pamharvestcraft Here!
Pam's HarvestCraft 2 - Food Core, created by pamharvestcraft, is possibly the most in-depth and diverse food mod. It adds tools (pans, roller, juicer, etc.) for easy cooking and creates 120 new recipes, which can be made using vanilla ingredients.
