CookLikeActually
by ehilynxin
CookLikeActually lets players cook Minecraft food through a cooking sequence borrowed from the Overcooked style of play, with cut, cook and plate steps.
What it does
Cooking in the mod follows a chain of steps: cut beef into a patty, cut bread into buns, cook the patty and place it on a plate. Cut potatoes become fries, and cut tomatoes and lettuce can be mixed on a plate. Beef or chicken diced and cooked with rice can be wrapped in a tortilla made from flour. Four main dishes can be made with the mod, and cheese, lettuce and tomato are included as ingredients that are not obtainable in ordinary survival.
The mod is at an early stage of development. Bugs and ideas are collected through the issue tracker on GitHub, and the source code is available to the public. Roughly Enough Items (REI) is optional and shows the recipes inside the game. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs for Fabric only, on 1.21.1, with the 0.3.2+1.21.1 alpha file as the latest build. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
