Chef's Dream

The datapack introduces new foods that cook at stations, including oil fryers, ham preparation boards, sushi rolls and grills. A Cooking Station Maker item, given through a starting guide the first time the datapack loads, places and manages those stations, and a set of cookbooks in a bookshelf documents the recipes. Players can also place a station by crouching and right-clicking certain blocks, or feed a hopper to turn it into a fryer.

The pack adds four fruits that drop from trees and five vegetables that drop from grass and ferns. Functions such as chefsdream:give/get veggies, chefsdream:give/get fruits and chefsdream:give/get barrel foods hand out the custom vegetables, fruits and barrel foods. A companion resource pack reskins some textures taken from the Croptopia and Farmer's Delight mods.

Chef's Dream is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.21 – 26.2 across 12 release versions. The server must run the pack, while a player's client can join without it, since either side can omit it only when the server is also unchanged. The project is open source under the MIT License. A forced removal of stations uses chefsdream:destroy stations, which clears stations within 10 blocks of where it runs, and deleting the datapack from the world folder should follow after the stations are gone.
