`nutrition`	int	Hunger points restored (1 = half drumstick)	2
`saturation`	float	Saturation modifier	2.0
`can_always_eat`	bool	If true, can eat even when full	false
`eat_seconds`	float	Time to consume in seconds	1.6

Effects

Property	Type	Description
`type`	string	Potion effect type (e.g., `regeneration`, `speed`, `absorption`)
`duration`	int	Duration in ticks (20 ticks = 1 second)
`amplifier`	int	Effect level (0 = I, 1 = II, etc.)
`probability`	float	Chance to apply (0.0 - 1.0)

Common Potion Effect Types

speed, slowness, haste, mining_fatigue, strength, instant_health, instant_damage, jump_boost, nausea, regeneration, resistance, fire_resistance, water_breathing, invisibility, blindness, night_vision, hunger, weakness, poison, wither, health_boost, absorption, saturation, luck, unluck

Notes

Nutrition of 8 is equivalent to a steak. Adjust based on how rare the food should be
Duration is in ticks (20 ticks = 1 second). 200 ticks = 10 seconds of Regeneration II
The consumable component (1.21.2+) adds eating animation and sound customization
For simpler food (no effects), you can use the Simple Generator Food form instead of Developer Mode
