Delight Lib
by Axperty
Developers who build Farmer's Delight add-ons use Delight Lib to create food items, knives, crates, bags and cabinets from a few lines of code.
What it does
Delight Lib is a utility library for add-on developers. It covers food items, placeable food items, cabinets, and crates and bags, and it also handles recipe management. With it, an add-on author can focus on the textures and models instead of the registration and wiring code.
The library requires Farmer's Delight and Farmer's Delight Refabricated. Two catalog mods depend on it: More Delight, which is built on Farmer's Delight, and Wilder Delights. Delight Lib runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with the latest builds for 26.3 on Fabric and 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 on the other two loaders.
The source code, issue tracker and wiki are public. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the first release dates from 2026-05-01. Builds cover game versions 1.20 – 26.3, across ten release versions.

Use cases
Building a new add-on

Updating across versions
An add-on author targeting several loaders and game versions relies on one codebase for the shared food and container logic.
Who it’s for: Add-on developers who make content for Farmer's Delight. The project includes a getting-started guide for beginners who want to create their first add-on.
How it compares
KubeJS Delight is a Forge and NeoForge option for 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, running on the client and server and released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later. Delight Lib is not limited to two loaders; it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge under the MIT License. Farmer's Delight Addon Fixes is a Forge-only mod for 1.20.1 and is not open source, so it does not offer the public source Delight Lib provides.
