One of the things I remember most on old OMM were the nice crops you could attain and grow and even the special trees. The only issue I ever seemed to have with them is if they were on the ground to long they would sometimes glitch to their vanilla equivalent. I found this plugin a few years back on a server that had at one point tried Slimefun, ( a plugin aimed at mimicking mods and it does but it also gets all the breaks of stuff modded does as well) the plugin back than probably had a different author but I did find a current version for 1.16.4 https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/custom-drops-editor-1-13-1-16-easy-to-use-hard-not-to-want.71153/ . The idea of the plugin is simplistic in a way instead of items you grow after obtaining the seeds you instead have a chance for byproducts. So say I am harvesting jungle leaves from a jungle tree much like how dark oak can drop apples when u break it leaves with this plugin you could config it to drop something like bananas, coconut, or mango. Below I will outline some potential byproducts from existing crops in the game and after I have put them in below I do some idea for recipes using those same items. My hope is that if you guys had wanted to bring back custom crops and food but knew it was a massive undertaking that maybe this plugin could be a light at the end of the tunnel.

- Next up are the recipes which can be handled a few ways by finding a custom recipe plugin you like that also lets you add potions and saturation levels to food or the more traditional OMM way of reskinning MC foods after crafted with custom recipes. Which sadly not that many new food items have been added to minecraft so it a short list and will probably have to reuse several items on certain foods so by adding saturation or potion buffs can make it worthwhile when crafting these. I will try to break the foods up by category like Drinks, Sides, Desserts, and traditional foods which come from different cultures.
