Kaleidoscope Cookery
by YSBB
Kaleidoscope Cookery adds a cooking system, recipes and kitchen equipment to Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, so players can prepare dishes in their own world.
What it does
The mod introduces a cooking system built around new equipment and a large set of food recipes. Players start from ingredients they collect or grow and work through the new stations to produce dishes. Its content is aimed at adding food variety to survival play and at giving other mods a shared base to build on.
Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 across three release versions: 1.20.1, 1.21 and 1.21.1. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is licensed under the BSD 3-Clause License, while the resource files fall under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, which means the project is not open source.
Twelve other catalog mods require Kaleidoscope Cookery, among them KaleidoscopeChineseFood, Maid Restaurant, Kaleidoscope Grilling, Kaleidoscope Texture Expansion and KaleidoscopeCookery-Automation. Those add-ons depend on its cooking system, so the base mod must be present for them to work.
