This is intended to be a simple, straightforward mod. I've always wanted more food in Minecraft, but without being overwhelmed with new crops, drops, and inedible in-betweens. Bird's Foods currently adds over 250new items, all of which are edible and all of which are craftable through vanilla means. I tried to make the recipes as vanilla-balanced and logical as possible, while adding small bonuses to make food more than just a way of keeping your hunger bar filled. Plus, who doesn't love good food.
Latest Update: New foods, Ore Dictionary support, Config options, and a brand new Well Fed effect
New version is available for 1.10.2 - 1.11.2 and 1.12.2
If a food is good enough - such as if it restores enough hunger or is an end-of-chain recipe - it may be a Quality food, which will give you a temporary 4 heart health boost. Certain legendary foods may give even more bonuses.
They might make you woozy for a bit, but every alcoholic beverage includes a buff, such as Regeneration or Haste.
Certain foods, like milk bottles, tea, and a few others, are considered Palliatives. They clear potion effects when eaten just like Milk Buckets, but only negative effects, so now you can cure your poisoning without losing your fire resistance.
If you're feeling lucky, you can try the infamous pufferfish Fugu. It probably (probably) won't kill you, but facing death down might make you a bit tougher for a little while.
If you like steak tartare, try a Cannibal Sandwich. If you've got a lot of Rotten Flesh hanging around, try a REAL Cannibal Sandwich. Much less likely to poison you if it's stuck between two slices of bread!
Well Fed - A brand new effect/buff:
If a food tops up your hunger bar and is of good enough quality, gain the Well Fed bonus!
Your saturation/hunger loss will be slowed for a short time
There is a simple calculation running to determine whether a food is good enough - essentially, hunger filled + saturation restored must be at least 20, so you can't get the buff just from snacking on small foods
Only foods from this mod can provide the Well Fed buff, in order to prevent conflicts
Recipes
There are too many recipes at this point to write them all out, and I recommend using JEI, NEI, or similar mods to keep track.
That said, there are a few basic rules I followed:
Cheese and Yogurt are frequently used, and are made by crafting Milk with Sugar or a Mushroom
Almost every new recipe is shapeless, unless there is a vanilla precedent or to avoid recipe conflicts
Sandwiches can be toasted for an added boost to hunger restored, but you can no longer add ingredients to them once you do!
Many basic food items can be chopped up by placing them in a crafting window, which opens up new avenues of crafting
Most drinks are made with one ingredient with a single empty bottle, except Bottles of Milk (which are made with a Milk Bucket or seeds+water bucket and three glass bottles) and alcoholic drinks (which require a fermented spider eye)
If you need to add a bit of spice, try Blaze Powder
Bottles of Milk and Milk Buckets can be used interchangeably in recipes, including for vanilla cake
Yogurt pulls extra duty as mayonnaise and sour cream. Try it in real food too!
Poisonous potatoes can be crafted from a potato and red mushroom, which can then replace spider eyes in the Fermented Spider Eye recipe. This makes alcohols more accessible and harm-free!
Version History

Added Ore Dictionary support
Added 50+ new foods, including toasted sandwiches
Added more alternate recipes for mod foods as well as vanilla foods
Added a vegan milk recipe using seeds, a water bucket, and three bottles
Added a new Well Fed status effect as a semi-hidden mechanic. Filling up on foods above a certain quality will slow hunger loss for a short time.
2.5
Added Tooltips
Minor tweaks to alcoholic drinks
2.4:
Updated to 1.12
Tweaked all alcohols to have a chance at providing a short health boost
Added quiches, hotcakes/waffles, new alcohols, new miscellaneous foods
Added alternate recipes for poisonous potatoes and fermented spider eyes
Fixed some recipe errors
Cleaned up a bit of code (but not too much, bless this mess)
2.3:
Private testing/bug fixing
2.2:
Fixed Sliced Beets recipe: previously conflicted with vanilla recipe, now takes two Beetroot to make four Sliced Beets
2.1:
Added new alcoholic drink: Scumble
Added recipes to allow crafting of all tacos from Empty Taco state
A couple minor code changes
Should also be compatible with 1.9.4 now (but has issues with 1.9 for some reason, probably won't be fixed)
2.0:
Updated for compatibility with 1.11 / 1.10.2
Added over 100 new items, new effects, etc
To Do or not To Do
I'm open to suggestions, but it might be a while before anything is implemented, unless I really like it.
Baseline testing has been done on 1.10.2, 1.11.2, and 1.12, with no apparent issues. Unfortunately, I have little free time for testing these days, so if you encounter any issues, let me know here or on the Curse Forge page.
This mod should play nice with anything that doesn't use the same vanilla recipes, but I'm not an expert. Feel free to use and distribute this as you wish, as long as it's credited.
If you use this in a modpack, I'd love to hear about it!
I think adding pizza would be awesome and chicken nuggets. For the drinks thing make your own drink make like a coffee pot, but for drinks or really any thing it could be something you came up with or something in real life it's your mod so what I am saying is instead of playing with the code on the brewer make your on code that way it can update on your terms unlike the brewer.
I am loving this mod. Thank you. The way you are handling and using the basic items from minecraft and not adding anything else but what can be crafted from them is great.
Man, the new recipe system is the pits when you've got hundreds of recipes
Featuring:
20-ish new food items including hotcakes, waffles, quiches, and new booze!
An alternative vegan-friendly recipe for fermented spider eyes - alcohols and potions can now be harm-free!
Bug fixes and code cleanup!
(Probably) new bugs and (certainly) messier code somewhere else!
Anti-Featuring:
Unfortunately, support for 1.9.4 has been dropped. I apologize if anyone actually still plays 1.9.4, but it was just chance (and poor coding) that allowed it to work with previous versions, and with a new job, I just don't have the time to maintain the spaghetti code it required.
***Server issue has been fixed in newest upload!***
I'm a bit confused. I downloaded your mod off curse, both 1.12 versions, and neither worked. They both made my game crash, and say "Looks like your using a unsupported, modified version of the game.". I'm a lot, bit, i'm just confused. Can anyone tell me whats going on? And before you ask, I checked, it is this mod.

Hey, sorry it took me a while to see this. Could you post your crash logs so I can have a look? It's hard to tell just from that error message, but I haven't heard anyone else mention that one before.

One word: Bacon Cheezeburger. Nice.
