Kubejs Kaleidoscope
by ChinaEX123
Kubejs Kaleidoscope connects the Kaleidoscope cooking mods to KubeJS, so server scripts can define the recipes and registrations those mods use.
What it does
Kubejs Kaleidoscope is a bridge rather than a set of new blocks. It exposes recipe types for the Kaleidoscope food machines, covering the stockpot, pot, chopping board, millstone, steamer, teapot, pressing tub, barrel, freezing and refrigerating steps, and the pickle jar. Pack authors write those recipes as KubeJS scripts instead of editing data files by hand.
Scripts can also register kitchen knives and sickles, and add Kaleidoscope Chinese Food dishes to the same system. Kaleidoscope Cookery, KubeJS are required, and Kaleidoscope Tavern and KaleidoscopeChineseFood add recipes when present. Files are available for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, the latest being 1.1.0 released on 2026-07-28. The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and only the server needs it, so players may join without installing it.

Use cases
Custom pack recipes
A modpack author can add or change cooking chains by writing KubeJS scripts that target the Kaleidoscope machines.
Server-side balancing
Server owners can adjust recipe outputs on a dedicated server without asking players to install any additional content.
Who it’s for: The mod suits pack authors and server owners who already run KubeJS and want to script Kaleidoscope cooking recipes. It requires a KubeJS setup and does not change the game on its own.
How it compares
Ponder For Kaleidoscope Cookery is a client-side only NeoForge mod for 1.21.1, released under the BSD 3-Clause License and open source, so it runs without a server and never touches recipes. YSM Equipment Render Patch is client-side only for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, under All rights reserved and not open source, and it changes how equipment is drawn rather than how recipes are defined.
