A Cute Little Crock Pot
by nosrick
A Cute Little Crock Pot lets players fill a pot over fire with water, drop food into it and boil a stew that can be eaten later.
What it does
The pot is placed over a fire, filled with water and given food, which then boils into a stew. Old stew is not reboiled, and a Redstone Block can power the pot through magic electricity. Sneaking and right-clicking with an empty hand empties the contents, and a name tag locks the pot so only its owner can interact with it until the name tag is used again. Potions can be added so their effect spreads across the portions.
The mod is built on the cooking pot from Charm and is kept deliberately small. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Fabric API is required. Optional extras are AppleSkin, Cloth Config API, Mod Menu and WTHIT, and a maximum configuration option is available. Builds are published for Fabric across 21 release versions, 1.18.2 – 1.21.8, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Use cases
Food stations on a server
A server can set up pots as shared food sources, with the name tag lock keeping the contents for one player.
Who it’s for: Players who want a cooking block with a simple boiling mechanic, and server owners who want a pot that works on both sides without extra setup beyond Fabric API.

What the author says
For those wondering about a Forge version, it actually works with the Sinytra Connector mod! I tested this with Crock Pot 1.13.3+1.20.1, and Connector Beta 7. Let me know if that changes with future versions. This is a very simple mod that is based quite heavily on the Charm cooking pot. You put it over a fire, fill…
