Nearby Delight
by Lbostani
Nearby Delight lets Farmer's Delight Cooking Pots draw ingredients from chests, cabinets and barrels that sit within reach of the pot.
What it does
Normally a Cooking Pot only uses what is placed inside it. With Nearby Delight, a pot searches the storage blocks around it for the items a selected recipe needs and pulls them in automatically. Players place a Cooking Pot, pick a recipe, and the pot gathers ingredients from nearby chests, containers and drawers without manual transfers.
The search radius is configurable through the Mod Menu config file. A smaller radius keeps the lookup light, while a larger radius lets Cooking Pots reach ingredients farther away at a higher cost. The mod also supports recipe transfer in JEI and EMI, and it works with Drawers Another Furniture and add-ons for Farmer's Delight.
Nearby Delight requires Farmer's Delight and Farmer's Delight Refabricated. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, and the latest builds target 1.21.1 and 26.3, with the mod released under All rights reserved.

Recipe transfer support

Use cases
Storage-based kitchens
Cooking Pots placed beside a row of chests or drawers can cook from the stored supply without refilling each pot.
Who it’s for: Players who run Farmer's Delight kitchens with a lot of storage, and server owners who want shared storage to feed Cooking Pots across a base.
How it compares
Refined Delight is NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, MIT licensed and open source, and it runs on client and server. Applied Delight is also NeoForge only for 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and open source. Nearby Delight is a Fabric and NeoForge mod released under All rights reserved and is not open source, so the code cannot be reused the way those two can.
