Cooking for Blockheads

by BlayTheNinth

Players who want a working kitchen rather than a single crafting grid can add Cooking for Blockheads, a multiblock kitchen that lists the recipes its ingredients allow.

What it does

The Cooking Table is the core block. It checks which ingredients are in the player's inventory and shows the food recipes that can be made from them, and a single click starts the cooking. Kitchens are built from several components, and each one adds new abilities as it is placed in the setup. Cupboards expand storage, a sink provides unlimited water, and an oven makes cooking more efficient.

A separate NoFilter book lists every food recipe regardless of the ingredients on hand, which suits players planning ahead. Sorting options can rank the craftable foods by nutrition. The mod also supports Pam's Harvestcraft and many other food mods, and it requires Balm and Fabric API on Fabric. Four other mods require it, including Refined Cooking, Applied Cooking, Occult Cooking and Cooking for PMMO.

Files cover 30 release versions for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, while source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked publicly.

Questions

Does Cooking for Blockheads need Balm?

Yes. Balm must be installed alongside the mod on every loader, and Fabric API is also required on Fabric.

Does the server need Cooking for Blockheads?

Yes. The server and every player need the mod installed.

Which loader should be used for the 26.3 build?

Fabric and NeoForge both have 26.3 files, with the Fabric file dated 2026-10-02. Forge's latest file is for 1.21.1, so it has no 26.3 release.
