Asian Kitchen
by DeonsGaming
Asian Kitchen, a Forge food mod for 1.20.1, adds Asian-inspired dishes that players cook through Minecraft's survival cooking mechanics.
What it does
Asian Kitchen introduces a selection of foods from several Asian countries, each built from its own ingredients and recipes. Players gather region-specific ingredients and prepare traditional meals, which broadens the food options available in a survival world. The mod covers five countries and, according to its description, five dishes for each of them, with the Turkiye and Sri Lanka dishes named among the regional choices.
The mod is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything, and only the server needs the files. It is published for Forge 1.20.1, with the latest Forge file being 1.0.4 released on 2026-05-20, and it is not open source: it is distributed under a custom license. The first build appeared on 2025-03-09. Asian Kitchen is one of the 2506 Food mods with Forge files for 1.20.1.
