After a couple moths of developing this, I am proud to finally announce the Spoiling Food Addon Beta for BTW!
There's lots and lots of features in this - because just making food spoil is of course boring. :P
Grab the MultiMC instance here - runs only with Java 8
First and foremost: Yes, this makes the game harder, definitely. Though manageable, from my perspective.
If you're particularly adventurous, just go in blind (with CraftGuide of course)! There's a lot of new stuff to discover and a lot of new mechanics to play with.
Also all features have a train of thought behind them, no random stuff (mostly haha).
For all the others, here's a quick rundown of the most important features:

Goals
- Leave fat as "realistic" as it is, but make it useful
- Probably make the game harder overall lol
- Add interesting gameplay rather than being a nuisance
- Easily get rotten flesh without needing to kill zombies
- Food will spoil
- Some ingredients should also spoil
- Different spoiling times per food type
For example, raw meat spoils faster than cookies - Food spoiling is easily visible
- Some downsides to almost spoiled food
- A certain new Potion effect! (P.S. has more use-cases than you'd think)
- Of course some non-spoiling lategame items!
- Non-natural animals age and can die of old age
- Old animals are special (besides look), with different stats
For automation purposes - No "Breeding Farms" a la Valheim. They lose immortality once they produced offspring
- Animals won't age in the end though
- Plants will decay
- Not the natural/village ones of course, else good luck getting these carrots from 2k blocks away
To prevent "letting crops stay until needed" strategy - Only get "animal food" out of decayed ones, no seeds
- What about seeds? Seeds will also decay. Because of course they will! :)
- Freezers! With some mechanics and automatable! Of course require some cold stuff to function
- Cold stuff is good at cooling food of course
- Food preparation can go a long way!
Just don't look too close at the textures, I am not a great artist xD
Anyways, here is a screenshot with some stuff to grab some attention, I have no idea how to showcase all of this :)
