Moldovan Foods
Moldovan Foods brings Moldovan dishes and ingredients into Minecraft Java Edition, with dill, salt and a set of recipes built around them.
What it does
The mod adds underground content to the world: salt ore sits deep in the deepslate layer, and Silk Touch collects the ore block itself, which is the salt used in Moldovan cooking. Dill can be grown on farmland through five stages, and bonemeal speeds up growth once a plant matures, so harvests yield more and seeds are replanted from the crop. Short grass may drop seeds for players who cannot find any at the start.
Foods, ingredients and tools sit together in their own creative tab named Moldovan Foods, and a custom advancement tree follows a player's progress through the cooking path. Eleven recipes are available from the start, covering dishes such as Pâine cu Zacusc and Castron di Pelimene, plus building-block ingredients like dough, yeast, wrapping and bowls. Text is localized in English, Romanian, French and German, and Romanian dish names are kept in every language.
Fabric API is required. The mod is published for Fabric only, for game version 26.2 (latest file 1.0.0, published 2026-07-30), and runs on client and server. Its source code is released under the Apache License 2.0.
