Nutritious Milk Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) – Make Milk a Real Food Source

Nutritious Milk Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) enhances the usefulness of milk in Minecraft by allowing it to restore hunger and saturation when consumed. In the vanilla game, milk is only used to clear status effects, making it situational and underutilized. This mod transforms milk into a viable food source, giving players a new reason to farm cows and carry milk on their adventures.

Now, drinking a bucket of milk will not only clear potion effects but also restore part of your hunger bar and saturation, just like eating regular food. The values are fully configurable, allowing you to adjust how much nourishment milk provides to suit your gameplay style or modpack balance.

Whether you’re playing a hardcore survival challenge, designing a more realistic farming experience, or simply want more use out of existing items, this mod makes milk a valuable and nutritious addition to your food system.

Features

You can define how much hunger and saturation milk provides. This allows full control over balance depending on whether you want it to act like a light snack or a powerful food item.

Milk still removes all potion effects when consumed, so the original utility is preserved while adding new value.
Ideal for Survival and Farming Playthroughs
Gives a new reason to maintain cow farms and makes milk more than just a niche utility item.
