Decay 2012

The Decay 2012 mod brings back the classic food mechanics from earlier game versions (approximately 2012) to TerraFirmaCraft's nutrition system. Food items now display their weight and spoilage level as fractional values and visual indicators directly on the item icons.

How the Spoilage System Works

The food decay process is calculated based on the time period from creation to complete spoilage. An interesting feature is that the spoilage percentage is squared - meaning the first 10% of the process passes significantly slower than the remaining 90%.

Spoiled Part Cutting Mechanics

Players can remove spoiled portions of food items using a knife - simply right-click on the item in the inventory. This removes exactly the percentage of the stack corresponding to the spoilage level, while the remaining portion completely resets its expiration date. It's important to note that cutting is only possible for items with spoilage levels between 10% and 90%.

Visual Display

The first 10% of the spoilage process is displayed as a decreasing green bar. Once this reserve is exhausted, a full red bar appears, which gradually decreases until completely disappearing, after which the food item becomes completely spoiled.

Important Note

All changes introduced by this mod, except for the spoiled part cutting function, are purely cosmetic. The core food mechanics remain identical to the modern version of TerraFirmaCraft.

Compatibility and Licensing

The mod requires installed TerraFirmaCraft for version 1.18 and above. Decay 2012 is distributed under the MIT license, allowing free inclusion in modpacks without the need for special permission from the author.
