Food & Pony Diets

Current to Version: 1.3.4

This page serves as a detailed description of all of the dietary functions and features add the to the game by Unicopia. It can be used as a guide to figure out which items a particular tribe can eat and which effects one can expect from them. Each category is also annotated with the names of the items tags used to populate those categories, so other mods and datapack creators have the option to add their own items to those lists and integrate with Unicopia.

Categories with no items currently in them are marked as Unused though they may have items added to them at a later date or by another mod. Categories also provided conventional alternatives that they pull from, to allow as wide-ranged support from other mods as possible, so this list may not be exhaustive of every modded item that may appear with effects when this mod is installed.

Diets

Each pony race has a slightly different diet and different foods they can and cannot eat. Certain foods are also edible but have certain side effects specific to them.

Unicorns:

• have a general even preference of foods
• Improved benefits from cooking their food before eating it
• Can still eat raw and rotten but at a reduced yield

Ponies:

• Are vegans
• They get the most from foraging
• Pastries are their passion
• If they must eat meat, they have to cook it and not let it spoil.
• They have a sweet tooth and prefer candy, desserts, and rocks
• Candy and rocks gives them a massive saturation boost. Maybe too much?

Foraging

Any items not normally considered food items by the game fall into the "foraging" category. This will include blocks such as hay, grass, shrugs, leaves, and anything else organic that ponies can eat but humans typically cannot. Each foraging item has effects which puts them into different categories based on how much risk is involved in eating them.

Detailed Breakdown

All items in the foraging category fill the same amount of hunger (2) and saturation (1) unless otherwise stated.

Humans cannot forage, and thus will see all items in the foraging categories as Lethal and will not be able to eat them. If they are somehow able to eat a foraging item, by some magical exploit, it will give them Food Poisoning II with no other special effects.

Ponies who eat them will get varying effects, some benificial and others not depending on the situation and the particular diet of their chosen tribe.
