Caupona
by khjxiaogu
Caupona brings a Greco-Roman style food and cuisine system to Minecraft, built on a cooking core that replaces the earlier Thermopolium sketch.
What it does
The mod adds cooking themed on Roman taverns, with new foods, stews and kitchen equipment. Caupona and Thermopolium were developed as separate content and do not migrate to each other, so a world using one will not carry its items into the other. Aside from cooking, the mod adds a hypocaust bath system that heats bathing areas.
Caupona is published for Forge and NeoForge across nine game versions, 1.18.2 – 26.1.2, with the newest Forge file for 1.20.1 and the newest NeoForge file for 26.1.2. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source. Just Enough Items (JEI) and Patchouli are optional, and JEI and Patchouli book support is included when they are present. On Ancient Ground-Core requires Caupona.
Key features
Roman-style cuisine
Food recipes and cookware are modeled on Greco-Roman tavern cooking, with reworked stew and cookware textures.
Silphium and special foods
Silphium is a rare plant that yields a strong spice, and a mid-game material grants special effects to the foods made with it.
Roads and snails
Road blocks raise sprinting speed considerably and have a mechanic that prevents running off the road. Snails are a new food that serves crustacean recipes.
Redstone ladle and situla
The redstone ladle moves fluid food with vanilla dispensers, and the situla transports stew with the same capacity as pots and dolia.
