Although there are many different food items and a fleshed-out hunger system, the community has plenty of mods related to food.

Mods are lines of code that essentially modify game mechanics. In fact, Minecraft has thousands of mods for practically every single feature in the game. If players want to expand their in-game variety of food items or improve the hunger system, they can consider getting some of the best food mods out there.
