Farinata
by shantih19
Farinata adds chickpea flour, wild chickpea plants and a cooking method for making Farinata di ceci, a savory chickpea cake, in Minecraft.
What it does
Farinata is a food mod built on the Italian dish of the same name, a thin savory cake made from chickpea flour, water and oil and traditionally eaten from northern and western Italy as a side or appetizer. The mod brings the ingredients into the game: wild chickpea plants can be found and harvested as crops, chickpeas roast into a snack, and they turn into flour. Players mix water from a bucket with flour to get a batter, then cook the batter to produce Farinata.
The food packs a lot of nutrients and can be eaten directly or placed in the world to share with friends. Installation needs Architectury API, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across nine release versions, 1.19.4 – 1.21.1. Farinata runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
