Cheesecraft
by rodog695
Cheesecraft adds cheesemaking to Minecraft, from milk and rennet through to aged cheese wheels.
What it does
Cheesecraft turns milk gathered from cows into cheese. Players start by collecting milk with a bucket, salt, water and rennet taken from cow stomachs, which are obtained by killing cows. Combining three ingredients yields cheese curds, a light snack. Curds are then pressed into fresh cheese wheels, which take time to mature.
A Cask machine ages the wheels: a fresh wheel left in a cask becomes regular cheese after one in-game day, and continued aging takes seven in-game days to reach an aged wheel. Finished wheels can be cut into Cheese Wedges, a fulfilling food. The mod is a simple take on cheesemaking, suited to players who want a vanilla-style food addition rather than a complex production chain.
Cheesecraft requires Fabric API. It runs on Fabric 1.20.6, with a single file, version 1.0, released on 2024-08-08. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code public. Both the server and every player need it, so the environment is client and server.
