Crop & Kettle
Crop & Kettle is a data pack for cooking and farming, adding seven new crops, over 100 recipes and interactive cooking blocks to the game.
What it does
Players grow new food crops that are found throughout the world, then chop, mix and cook them in the new cooking blocks. The recipes range from snacks to feasts, and the in-game cookbook records each one as its ingredients are gathered. A wine aging system lets wine gain potency the longer it stays aged, each with its own effects. A trader NPC buys home cooked meals for special rewards, and an advancement tab guides players through the pack.
Crop & Kettle is a datapack, so it is installed as a data pack on a server, not as a loader mod. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 26.3 as the latest release. The server needs the mod, while players may add it but can also join without it. The data-driven backend lets other datapacks add their own recipes and cookbook pages, and a separate addon guide explains how to do so. The mod is released under a custom license and is not open source.
Key features
Seven new crops
Seven food crops are scattered through the world, giving players new ingredients to farm and cook.
Over 100 recipes
The recipes span snacks and feasts, and the cookbook records each one as its ingredients are gathered.
Interactive cooking blocks
New blocks let players chop, mix and cook their ingredients in a sequence of steps.
Wine aging
Wine ages over time, and longer aging increases its potency and gives unique effects.
Chat-quiet settings
An admin option turns off command feedback, so turning cookbook pages does not flood chat.
