Food Expansion is a food expansion addon for Bedrock by Loyallay. It adds more than 150 new foods, plus berry bushes, crops and plants, to give survival farming and cooking more variety. It arrives as a single .mcaddon file, needs no experimental toggles, and runs on Realms and servers.
Supported versions
- Minecraft 26.30 to 26.40.
What it adds
Every recipe trades off hunger restoration against saturation. Some foods are eaten quickly, some saturate better, and some are simply alternatives to vanilla staples.
- 9 berry bushes found by biome. Each berry restores 3 hunger points and is eaten twice as fast as normal food. Ghostberries from the Pale Garden cause 10 seconds of nausea.
- 23 crops and 18 plants. Vegetables restore 2 hunger points, and fruit from trees restores 4.
- Base items such as the Steel Bowl for stews, soups and rice dishes (the bowl comes back after eating), the Empty Jar for jelly, plus salt, butter, rice and ramen noodles.
- Turkeys that drop feathers and eggs, which work in place of the chicken versions in recipes. Pies and turkey can be placed as blocks.
- A guidebook crafted from one book and one blue dye, with recipes, nutrition and saturation values, and biome locations. One is handed over the first time you enter a world.
