Are you hungry all the time. Always looking for food. Then look no further. This mod adds bugs to block drops. Dig dirt, grass blocks, sand, or cut down trees and pick up bugs that you can eat.
Search for termite mounds in Savanna's. Dig the mounds for termites and termite larvae.
Click the larvae on a dirt block to grow new mounds.
To auto farm the termite, build a Termite zapper and place dirt on the left side and the termite larvae on the right side in the GUI. Turn on using a redstone signal. Once the mounds reach 3 blocks tall, they will be farmed and re-planted if dirt and larvae are present.
Finally, add some vegetable oil to the fryer and cook all these bugs for even better food content.
Recipes to make the oil, fryer, and bugzapper can be seen under the images tab.

For Minecraft 1.12, have added Termite clay, brick and brick blocks with stairs and slabs. Clay drops from Termite mounds. Bake the clay in a Minecraft furnace for Minecraft bricks, or fry it in the fryer for Termite Brick. 4 Termite clay in a crafting bench will give 1 Minecraft clay block. 4 Termite brick will give one termite brick block.
An idea:
Since there is a termite zapper that gives you ground termites and termite clay.
How about a termite zapper that gives you wood termites and wood pulp (or even sawdust)?
Instead of putting in dirt, you would put in wood logs of any type, which would produce wood pulp (of the type of log you put in), wood termites, and larvae.
The wood pulp could then be made into paper, or wood pulp blocks (of the type you had put in), bricks, etc. 4 wood pulp clumps make block of wood pulp, 1 wood pulp makes one paper.
Maybe they make squishing sounds when you walk on them.
Rename of the termite zappers to Ground Termite Zapper and Wood Termite Zapper... or allow both inputs into one single Termite Zapper.
***Also, not sure if this is a pack thing or modpack thing (termite clay recipe should be to termite bricks not to regular minecraft bricks) and remove the 4 termite clay to regular block of clay recipe

Also, making the 4 termite clay recipe into a 2x2 grid is also a nice thing, instead of only in the crafting bench.
I did a mod review of your mod and at the end added an idea to make your mod friendlier with spice of life.
Is there a way we can get a better fuel source than vegetable oil such as an improved version that would allow more bugs to be cooked in the furnace or bug cooker? Or add a variety of food such as sweet treats like chocolate covered bugs. Using cocoa, milk and eggs (possibly) of course. Also, can you make it so more than just hoppers can output and input items to and from the fryer and from the zapper? It would make it so much easier for me since I know there are other mods out there that are similar in scope to hoppers such as item transfer nodes and enderio conduits those are the only ones that come to mind at this point.
Hey, I was wondering if anywhere it says what bugs drop from what blocks?
Hello, I just wanted to say thank you for continuing work on this mod.
can you fix the furnace recipies please? using forge 2772, cant cook any bug.
I love this! english speaking countries are only some of the few countries that DO NOT consider insects as nutritious, delicious food!
Can you make a feature where the bugs can be spawned and if you kill it, you get the item
please make a github for issues, and link it in the settings for the mod.
Issue- Unable to automate with thermal expansion conduits and servos.
Issue- Using a hopper, the termite zapper block seems to conduct redstone, so the signal you give it to work, also shuts off the hopper.
Issue - All recipies require that you use the bottom left corner of a full crafting grid, even though the recipe is 2x2
My friends and I are using Edibles on my server and we absolutely love it, been having a ball growing termites as one of our main food sources.
However, myself and a user on my server came up with an idea that would add a lot to the world without sacrificing on any core aspects. The idea being that you could have animated transparent blocks that act like vines that attach to trees and to the surface of other blocks which looks like little crawling bugs. I'm thinking just little black specs - nothing specific or extremely detailed.
Maybe instead of having it be a chance to get a random bug from any block you harvest, make it a guaranteed random bug from these "bug" tiles that spawn randomly. Less about functionality and more just adding a little life to the world.
I'd also love to see more insect automation - perhaps giving certain bugs extended uses outside of food. Beetles to transform rotten meat into bones, grubs to turn wood into rotting wood or compost, stuff like that. Just a couple ideas!
I can not seem to get the Food values to change, even after editing the configs. Is there a known issue with this?
1.12.2 latest version as of posting this.
Would it be possible to add Chisel support for Termite Bricks?
Does the termite mound clay override regular world clay? Wondering because I'm unable to cook regular clay in a furnace to make bricks.
NM I think I found the issue...another mod had making clay in vanilla furnace turned off
Several things. One where is the Source code? You have licensed this as MIT but there is no source code linked.. Do you have it up on Github?
Next I have a crash report I would like to pass on to you. Curseforge comments seems the wrong place for that.
My crash report is on 1.11.2, if I place a bug in the fryer, and that fryer has no fuel in it. My game crashes.

Thanks for the info.
Bed bugs, termites, these pest do create an infestation problems. The best place to look for termites is around the base of the tree, where you can use a small shovel to dig around the roots because termites usually exist just below the soil line. While bed bug infestations have increased dramatically in the past few years. It is important take some certain steps or call up a bed bug exterminator Brooklyn, Florida, Alaska ,etc., services if we discover bugs and termites had infested one of your home.
Thanks for making this mod. I am always looking to fill niches in the world with fresh things to do. I never thought the game was missing insects until I played with Edible Bugs for a while. I think their drop rates are balanced, the bugs are real and nicely drawn, and the termite mounds are a fresh resource. I'm on 1.10.2 building a big modpack of down-to-earth activities, and this will bug players (haha) into trying some new things. I was also inspired to write some MineTweaker scripts to put these bugs to work ... carpenter ants to help make wood pulp, beetles to turn dirt into mycelium, and so on. Cheers.
