Food Spoiling (Rot)

As if surviving wasn't hard enough, now your food can spoil too. That's right, food spoilage happens every day in the real world, why not in Minecraft?

Most food will spoil in about 7 days (with the default mod settings), so don't gather more than you can eat (unless you can preserve it in cold storage). Meat items such as pork, beef, chicken, and fish, whether raw or cooked, will rot into rotten flesh, buckets of milk will rot into spoiled milk, while everything else edible (including anything edible from other mods) will rot into rotten food.

This mod will also keep track of rotting items within inventories from other mods so there is no easy way to cheat around rot. For better ways of preserving your food look into making Eskys and Freezers.

Rotten food isn't completely useless though, in most cases it is worthwhile to make yourself a composting bin to turn compost rot into compost which acts like half-power bonemeal. If you're feeling really desperate, then you can still eat rotten food for half a hunger "shank" though it may make you sick.

POSSIBLE FUTURE FEATURE: Rot can be used as a crafting ingredient to make dirt, mycelium or slime balls.
