World Generation
Foodables seamlessly integrates with Minecraft's world generation system, adding 7 fruit trees, 2 berry bush types, and underground salt ore deposits that spawn naturally across appropriate biomes. This comprehensive generation system provides sustainable food sources while maintaining vanilla-compatible world generation.
