I’ve tested a lot of Minecraft mods that sound cool on paper but feel kind of forgettable in-game. The Veggie Way Mod (Fabric & Forge) is more interesting than that, mostly because it actually changes how the world feels instead of just adding random clutter. The Veggie Way Mod for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.21, 1.20.6, 1.20.5, 1.20.4, 1.20.3, 1.20.2, 1.20.1, 1.20, 1.19.4, 1.19.3, 1.19.2, 1.19.1, 1.19, 1.18.2, 1.18.1, 1.17.1, and 1.16.5 allow you to make high-nutrition dishes without consuming cooked animal meat. You may now make high-nutrition dishes using nature's abundance (apples, carrots, beets, etc.) and farm-fresh eggs and milk for protein. You may also gain certain special effects without needing to make potions.

A vanilla-friendly method of obtaining tastier food without killing. I enjoy playing Minecraft, but killing cows, lambs, pigs, and chickens for food always makes me feel bad. Why doesn't Minecraft allow you to make high-nutrition dishes without having to eat roasted animal flesh?
Here is how it works:
- Collect some Drying Agent from sand with a Hand Rake, its silicate from millions of years of volcanic dust in the soil (20% chance)
- Red Quinoa, Corn, Lentil, and Soybean Seeds drop from dirt and grass blocks with a Hand Rake (10% chance) and can be planted on farmland to grow crops
- Raise some chickens to get eggs or grow some Red Quinoa, Lentil or soybeans—used to craft protein powder
- Farm some carrots—used to craft vitamin powder
- Farm some apples or beets—used to craft fructose powder
- Farm some Wheat - used to craft wheat germ powder
- Farm some Cocoa Beans - used to make caffeine powder
