Farmer's Respite Unofficial Port
by TylerCross
Farmer's Respite Unofficial Port brings the Farmer's Respite kettle, fluids and advancements to NeoForge 1.21.1 as an unofficial port of the original mod by lumpazl.
What it does
The port rebuilds the kettle as a dynamic GUI that accepts item, fluid and mixed inputs and outputs, and supports full automation through hoppers, pipes and other mods. The kettle can be heated from several sources, including a hanging kettle chain placed above a flame, and the port adds further heating options for Create-based and Farmer's Delight setups.
Added content includes a few fluids with their own effects, such as Caffeinated, which keeps phantoms away, and Sleepy, a new effect that makes sleeping more costly, which comes from tea and coffee. Decorative blocks and fluids extend existing Farmer's Delight items such as hot cocoa, melon juice and apple cider. The advancements are the originals plus some new ones, and recipes were added for Create compatibility. Farmer's Delight is required, and the kettle depends on the Farmer's Respite base content.
Files exist for NeoForge only, and the latest is 3.0.1 for 1.21.1, published 2026-08-22. The first release is dated 2026-06-06. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source. Client and server both need it.
Key features
Kettle recipe book
The kettle uses the vanilla recipe book and a GUI that can be viewed through JEI, with bookmarking for recipes.
Ponder scene
A Create ponder scene explains how the kettle works when Create is installed.
Configuration options
Most content can be adjusted in the configuration files, and translation files were cleaned up for other languages.
REI and EMI support
REI and EMI support is present but mostly untested, and EMI reportedly works when paired with JEI.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Who it’s for: Players of Farmer's Delight on NeoForge 1.21.1 who want more kettle recipes, fluids and heat sources, and server owners who run automated food setups.
How it compares
Delightful Fares is a NeoForge food mod for 1.21.1 with the same client and server environment, but it is not open source under All rights reserved. Tea Ceremony is open source under the MIT License and targets 1.21.5 instead of 1.21.1. Bittersour is server-required with client optional, covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and loads on both Forge and NeoForge.

What the author says
It has been over a year since the last update to Farmer's Respite for 1.20.1, and development seems to have stalled. While I have read there are plans for an eventual rework and update, I wanted to be able to play with this mod and its compatible recipes found in other mods (i.e. Collector's Reap, Respiteful, etc.)…
