Food

Eating animals is very nutritious for beegs — so much that maybe it is a good idea to become a rancher instead of a farmer for the early game — Bigger animals have larger values, and keeping a healthy herd is even more nutrituous.

Furthermore, some animals are more fun to eat for the foodie aspect of it. Snow Golems are basically snowcones, they are so tasty they will give you lasting regeneration ❄️🍧✨, and spiders heal a little health with every bite (ew tho! spiders!? — because of the protein content! — still eww!).

Mobs that are eaten this way will drop no edible items. In fact, part of the food restored by eating animals is from automatically consuming their food drops.

Food restored by eating animals is not nerfed as much by the separate system "Beegs are Hungry" that nerfs normal food values — so that beegs need to eat STACKS of steak to replenish their hunger bar.

List of Effects

Different animals and monsters have surprise effects when eaten, this is the list of them:

• Healthy animals in more filling

• Skeletons and Golems have no nutritional value

• Illagers and witches grant various random effects

• Glow Squids grant night vision

• Magma Cubes and Blazes grant fire resistance, but hurt to eat

• Slimes grant regeneration

• Spiders heal health

• Endermen and Horses grant strength

• Ghasts and Pandas grant resistance

• Guardians grant haste, Elder Guardians grant a much more potent effect.

• Mushroom Cows and Parrots grant luck

• Iron Golems grant slowness

• Snow Golems grant regeneration, and sometimes speed or jump boost

• Various fishes such as cod or salmon grant speed

• Pigs and Chicken grant are rich for saturation

• Players give bonus saturation

• Cows and Goats are highly nutritious 

• The Wither Boss gives you Health Boost and Fire Resistance

• The Warden gives you... pain, but also Absorbtion

Configuration Options

The duration and frequency of these bonus effects can be balanced if you care about that stuff (I dont!). This can be disabled in the Server Config:

actuallysize-server.toml 

# This is the normal duration of effects from this system

foodEntityDurationMultiplier = 1

# This disables potion effects granted by non-boss mobs

foodEntityDurationMultiplier = 0

# This doubles the time duration of effects obtained from eating mobs

foodEntityDurationMultiplier = 2

The frequency is the chance of getting it, similar to eating raw chicken that only gives hunger sometimes, the frequency multiplier is just how often you get these effects:

# This is the normal chance of effects from this system

foodEntityFrequencyMultiplier = 1

# Only boss entities would give potion effects when this is set to zero

foodEntityFrequencyMultiplier = 0

# This halves the probability of getting effects from eating mobs

foodEntityFrequencyMultiplier = 0.5
