Too little foods give status effects. Right now, if you want a helpful effect inflicting food, you either craft a golden apple or hunt down a golden apple, meaning the only food that applies status effects that you actually want is a golden apple, and that's just for healing. The other golden apple is more helpful but still mainly healing-focused.
Sandwiches would fix this. It's explained how later in the post, but for now, you just need to start with a knife:
With this knife, you can do a lot of things. Of course it deals damage, but its main use would be crafting slices of food for sandwiches.
What do you do with these bread slices? Let the sandwiches begin!
Yes, the recipe is shapeless.
To prevent a ton of "sandwich" textures from taking up the 'textures/item' folder and Mojang's time, instead of one texture for each combination, there would be one "sandwich" texture for each ingredient. When you make a sandwich, the game grabs these textures and puts them on top of each other to make your sandwich. In other words:
So why would you WANT these sandwiches? What would they actually do?
Well, first, some definitions of what you can put in a sandwich:
-it must be food
-it must not be golden food
-it cant be raw food
-it cant be spider eyes/rotten flesh
-it cant be bread.
-and finally, no more than three ingredients per sandwich.
Okay, what does it DO?
A sandwich would start with 1 hunger bars of restoration, and increase by 1/ingredient. Each ingredient would have its own effect (maybe carrots have jump boost) and if the food already had effects (chorus fruit) they would remain.
But wait! That's not all!
Spreads
Just another sandwich!
With spreads, you know exactly what potion you're getting, and you can put them on normal sandwiches as well! You just have to put it on beforehand:
These new bread slices would be usable in a regular sandwich, as well as eatable on their own.
Overpoweredness?
To prevent this from being too overpowered, sandwiches would increase the eating time for every ingredient involved.
The reason you would want to eat Spreads on bread is because they would be stackable.
There’s no need to needlessly complicate the recipe. Cut the knife and the bread slices and just use bread.
I don’t really mind the idea, though I’d get rid of spreads and instead make the sandwich only grant hunger, with a 25% bonus for using three ingredients.
I'm really glad that you decided to make your own textures (I think?) but I don't really like this suggestion.
Knives seem to be only useful for making slices of bread. I'm not really sure why you decided to add knives when you could've just written it so you can craft bread into 4 slices the way you can with blocks of metal. For that matter, I'm not really sure why we need sliced bread either. I know that the texture is a loaf of bread, but I feel like we'd save on unnecessary items by just using one piece of bread in the recipe and implying that it's a hoagie/sub roll or whatever.
I like the idea of combining the little images to make a sandwich texture, though I feel like these sandwiches aren't very useful without the spreads, which I actually think are an interesting idea. Personally I think potions are underpowered, especially health potions. I feel like being able to spread health potion sauce on my sandwich would actually be a far better use for health potions.
That being said, I think perhaps there are other ways to implement this such as putting the potion in Mushroom Soup or using it as a dressing in a salad food item, and I feel like the sandwich on its own is rather pointless unless you're in a situation where you've let your hunger drop to 0 and you need to fill it immediately, otherwise those extra hunger points are entirely wasted.

My avatar is a texture from a small block game I made in Python. It's not very good and it probably won't work if you install it.
I'm very alone in my Minecraft worlds as I don't have a very good internet connection to run a server. If you're like me, you might be interested in my Posse mod suggestion.

It wouldn't "fix" anything, it would just gum up balance.
I admit I do admire the custom art you made for this, but yeah, we can just skip the whole knife thing and go straight to using bread. Not to sound mean, but once you started talking about golden apples and hinted about these sandwiches giving potion effects, I was already aggressively nodding my head no.

lol I don't think it works that way. Extra eating time isn't that good of a counter to potion effects. Food acting as potion copies has always been a rejected idea here for years. It presents unnecessary balance complications. Some dude who's too lazy to get real potions will fall back on this. It just doesn't work out well. No support, sorry.
Why would sandwiches give magical potion effects anyway..?
This sounds good, except that suspicious stews already do basically the same thing plus they give uses to flowers instead which are in more urgent need of non-decorational purposes.
