Modern Delight
by zombiecute
Modern Delight expands the kitchen with stone mortars, ovens, steamers, ice cream makers and a biogas digester, each cooking method tied to its own machine.
What it does
Modern Delight lets players process ingredients in more ways than vanilla offers. A stone mortar grinds ingredients, an oven bakes them, a freezer chills and processes food, and kneading and whisking open further recipes, including a whole range of whipped and mixed foods. Simpler electrical machines power the kitchen appliances, so a base needs some generating facilities before the appliances run.
The mod also covers preservation and flavour. A juice extractor makes juices and seasonings that other mods can use, an oil extraction step turns vegetables into oil for fried foods, and a digester produces biogas by fermenting material. Biogas can burn and heat nearby blocks, and it can explode, so the digester needs careful placement. Modern Delight runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric and Forge on 1.20, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and the source code is open source.
Geckolib is required, and the mod's config is optional through YetAnotherConfigLib on Fabric. Optional integrations cover EMI, Farmer's Delight, Farmer's Delight Refabricated, JEI, Patchouli and REI, so recipe viewers and a guide book can run alongside it.

How it compares
Arbitrary Delight is open source under the MIT License, for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge on 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and runs on client and server. Pizza Delight is open source under the MIT License, for Forge and NeoForge only, on the same range. VanillaJuicing is for Fabric and Forge on 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Modern Delight covers the broader kitchen, while those alternatives focus on pizza, juicing or a narrower set of loaders.
