Fromage
by Yoacek
Fromage is a cheesemaking mod for Fabric and NeoForge that covers the full process from milk to aged cheese, with 27 final cheeses.
What it does
Players milk cows, goats and sheep and fill three Milk Bottles per cauldron. A bottle left out for one Minecraft day turns sour, and sour milk is used to multiply cheese cultures. Five cultures are available, including Fresh, Mesophilic, Thermophilic, Blue Mold and Propionic, and several rennet recipes, including one that brews from a Calf Stomach.
Curds are processed in a Cheese Vat at low, medium or high heat, then sorted into large, medium or small curds. Presses take curds in molds, a Small Mold Press using four individually slotted curds and a Wheel Mold Press using eight. The two-shelf aging rack finishes the wheels. A curd keeps a record of the heat it was processed at, and a press recipe will not accept a curd whose stored heat does not match. A heating tray sits above Lava Campfires and unlit Campfires, which also provide heat.
The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for 1.21.1 on Fabric and NeoForge, and it is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places it in the public domain, so the project is not open source. Mozzarella Balls and Stracciatella are edible, and two sizes of Bad Cheese count toward the 27-cheese collection.
