by giamat13

Food by Giamat expands the kitchen in Minecraft with more than 40 food items, crops and dishes, and a multi-step cooking chain for survival worlds.

FabricClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.11 – 26.2

What it does

The mod adds food sources to the world: wild bushes of tomato and grape scatter across plains, chili pepper bushes grow in deserts, and banana, lemon, pomegranate and olive trees bear fruit that can be harvested. Corn, rice and a plant farm give players a way to grow their own ingredients rather than depend on wild fruit alone.

Processing goes further than cooking. Wheat is milled into flour, and dough is kneaded and baked in stages to make bread. Olives can be pressed for oil, milk and cream can be churned into butter, and a water cauldron with a strainer yields salt. Players can also make pastes, cheese, crumbs, gelatin and melted chocolate, which serve as components for larger recipes.

Finished dishes include pita, schnitzel, sausage, sausage-in-a-bun, hamburgers, chicken nuggets, breaded items, sushi, and pizza with customizable toppings. The author describes more than 80 new dishes, including gummy candy and magical cakes. The mod is Fabric only, runs on client and server, and is published for 1.21.11 – 26.2 with 1.0.0 as the latest file.

Key features

  1. Wild food plants

    Tomato, grape and chili pepper bushes spawn naturally in their biomes, so players can gather ingredients while exploring.

  2. Harvestable orchard trees

    Banana, lemon, pomegranate and olive trees grow fruit that players can pick once it ripens.

  3. Staged dough and bread

    Flour is kneaded and baked through separate stages before it becomes bread.

  4. Oil, butter and salt production

    Olives are pressed into oil, milk and cream are churned into butter, and salt is strained from water in a cauldron.
