Bird Meat is dropped by all of the birds. Just place the raw meat in a furnace to cook yourself some tasty grub!

This book tells you about all of the birds in game. It includes their picture, the scientific name and a little caption about them. It can be crafted using a normal book and a peacock feather, like so:

Eggs can be found in two ways: collected from nests, or laid by birds. All eggs have a 10% chance of spawning a chick when thrown. This can be increased up to 50% by crafting the eggs with blaze powder, adding 20% each time. Any attempt to increase after 50% will consume the powder, but not increase the chance.

There are also unidentifed eggs. These are black with a question mark on them. To indentify these, you must use the egg sorter. See below.

This item will occasionally drop from nests, and also when you throw any of the bird eggs. It can be used like bonemeal to speed up the growth of plants and to grow flowers.

It can be crafted using the following recipe:

Placing unidentified eggs in the top slot and redstone dust in the bottom will result in the eggs being identified. This is not always successful and may produce eggshells.

The incubator can be crafted using the following recipe:

Placing eggs in the top slots and blaze powder in the bottom will level up the eggs. This machine allows the spawn rate to go all the way to 100%! It works on multiple eggs too!

Probably the most important part of the mod. You will find these nests sitting atop leaves in your world. Breaking them will drop 0-3 different bird eggs and some sticks. Empty nests can be crafted using the following recipe.

You may right click on the nests to open the GUI.

Dropped by peacocks, these feathers can be used to craft the Book of Birds.

This dust is used to create a phoenix egg. It can be found as a rare item in abandoned mineshaft chests. One is dropped by a phoenix upon death.

Phoenix eggs are used to hatch the mythical phoenix. They require a light level of 9 or above to hatch (a flame particle effect will appear when the light level is suitable). These can be found as a rare item in a monster dungeon, extremely rarely found in nests, or crafted by surrounding a chicken egg in phoenix dust.

Dropped by a phoenix upon death. This feather does not yet do anything.

A few recipes

Some of the other foods available

A variety of foods, including:

• Soups, Stews, and Pies
• Sandwiches, Burgers, and Tacos
• Curries, Noodles, and Pastas
• Juices, Teas, and alcoholic drinks
• Desserts
• Vegetarian and Vegan options
• and numerous miscellaneous foods

Certain foods also have bonus effects:

• 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

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!
