CuisineCraft
by ZappyQ
CuisineCraft adds ingredients, crops, multi-step recipes and a Fryer block to the food system, letting players grow, catch and cook their own meals.
What it does
Players grow fresh produce, including rice planted on suitable ground beneath shallow water, and harvested crops yield several ingredients plus extra seeds. Most seeds drop when grass is broken. Salt Ore generates underground in the Overworld, and Salt works as a seasoning in several recipes. Shrimp spawn naturally in ocean biomes, rivers and lakes, and can be caught and prepared.
The Fryer is a functional block that works much like a furnace but runs dedicated frying recipes, with its own interface for recipe handling. Fuel and the correct ingredient are both needed to prepare a dish. Dishes such as Shrimp Fried Rice return a bowl after being eaten, and Breaded Shrimp, Crispy Shrimp and Shrimp Burger are added as prepared foods.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both need it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 8 release versions, 1.12.2 – 1.21.1, under All rights reserved, and is not open source. Public source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from the project.
