Spoiling Food Addon

Spoiling Food! Yes, this makes the game harder, definitely. Though manageable. If you're particularly adventurous, just go in blind! There's a lot of new stuff to discover and a lot of new mechanics to play with.

Dependencies

Features

Also all features have a train of thought behind them, no random stuff (mostly). Here's a quick rundown of the most important features:

Goals

• Leave fat as "realistic" as it is, but make it useful
• Probably make the game harder overall lol
• Add interesting gameplay rather than being a nuisance
• Easily get rotten flesh without needing to kill zombies
• Food will spoil

Food Will Spoil!

• Some ingredients also spoil
• Different spoiling times per food type (for example, raw meat spoils faster than cookies)
• Food spoiling is easily visible
• Some downsides to almost spoiled food
• A certain new Potion effect! (P.S. has more use-cases than you'd think)
• Of course some non-spoiling lategame items!

What about the animals?

• Non-natural animals age and can die of old age
• Old animals are special (besides look), with different stats (for automation purposes)
• No "Breeding Farms" a la Valheim. They lose immortality once they produced offspring
• Animals won't age in the end though

What about the plants?

• Plants will decay
• Not the natural/village ones of course, else good luck getting these carrots from 2k blocks away (to prevent "letting crops stay until needed" strategy)
• Only get "animal food" out of decayed ones, no seeds
• What about seeds? Seeds will also decay. Because of course they will! :)

Prevention of food spoilage

• Freezers! With some mechanics and automatable! Of course require some cold stuff to function
• Cold stuff is good at cooling food of course
• Food preparation can go a long way!
