How to Earn Dietary Variety Rewards and Unlock Milestones

The whole point of tracking foods is that eating a wide range of them grants rewards. Instead of a single bonus, the mod hands out benefits as you cross variety thresholds, so the more distinct foods you eat, the more you get.

How Rewards Trigger

Rewards are tied to the number of unique foods you have eaten, not the total amount of food consumed. Each time your count of distinct foods reaches a new milestone, the mod grants the associated reward. You do not need to do anything special to claim it; it applies automatically once the threshold is met.

Planning Your Diet

Because only new foods count, plan meals around items you have not eaten yet. Combine easy staples with rarer finds: different fish, multiple cooked meats, various crops, and prepared dishes all count separately. Check the Food Book regularly to see how close you are to the next milestone.

What the Rewards Do

Rewards typically take the form of passive bonuses such as extra health or similar perks, and they stack as you unlock more milestones. The exact rewards and the number of foods required are set by the mod's configuration, so on a server they may differ from singleplayer. If a reward seems missing, ask the server owner whether the config was changed.
