Spoiling-Food-Addon

Make food spoil. And definitely do not do a hundred other things as well.

Core Idea:

• Make Food spoil
  • Needs a big scope to really make sense

Core 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

• Some ingredients should also spoil 🗸
• Different spoiling times per food type? 🗸
  • E.g. raw meat spoils faster than cookies 🗸
  • Should probably still be somewhat lenient but needs balancing
• Food spoiling needs to be easily visible/discernible/estimatable 🗸
  • Perhaps even exact best-before-date? 🗸
• Multi-Stage spoiling?
  • Some downsides to slightly spoiled food
  • FERMENTING? <.<
    • Some "sleeping" enhancers perhaps (new Potion effect)? 🗸
• Non-spoiling items? 🗸
  • Late game stuff for convenience?

Non-natural animals age and can die of old age

• Probably make old animals somehow special (besides look), with different stats 🗸
  • For automation purposes 🗸
  • E.g. make them slower, slightly less tall, can't swim, can't jump, ... 🗸
• People would probably just do "Breeding Farms" ala Valheim with 2 immortal naturals on top, producing offspring 🗸
  • That perhaps needs addressing? E.g. making them lose immortality once the produced offspring 🗸
• Animals won't age in the end 🗸

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 🗸
• Needs thoughtful balancing as well
• Also multi-stage
  • For visibility purposes
• Only get "animal food" out of decayed ones, no seeds 🗸
• What about seeds? 🗸
  • Seeds will also decay 🗸

Prevention of food spoilage

• Ability to slow food spoiling
• Fridges, cool boxes, etc, or Reverse Hibachis, of course. Perhaps Stoked Reverse Hibachis.
  • I like the idea of something with ice and snow, giving extra use to cold biomes 🗸
  • Something with automation would probably be more healthy though 🗸
  • Reverse Hibachis are fridges and Stoked Reverse Hibachis are freezers??
  • Freezers, automation friendly, use snow/ice for cooling 🗸
• Food preparation (similar to different spoiling times for food)
• Ender-fication of food
  • Food does not spoil in the end, time passes differently there
  • Certainly nothing to worry about when it comes to food..
  • (Need some further use-case ideas still)
