New Year's Delight (A Farmer's Delight Add-on)
by Komikan
New Year's Delight adds Japanese New Year foods, festive decorations and a Mortar and Usu Mallet for pounding Mochi, built as an add-on to Farmer's Delight.
What it does
Players pound steamed rice into Mochi with a Mortar and Usu Mallet, then combine it into traditional dishes such as Osechi boxes, Toshikoshi Soba and sweet Amazake. The recipes sit on top of Farmer's Delight, which the mod requires, so the cooking system, containers and crops come from that base mod.
Decorations for the holiday include Kadomatsu bamboo, Pine and Shimekazari ornaments meant for a home. Adzuki beans are a new crop, used for sweet red bean paste. The content is aimed at survival players who cook in a Farmer's Delight kitchen and want seasonal dishes, and at server owners who want an event theme. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Builds cover 1.20.1 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and 1.21.1 on NeoForge.

Use cases
Holiday cooking on a survival world
Players who already run a Farmer's Delight kitchen can add the New Year dishes to their existing food chain.
Seasonal server event
A server can run a New Year event with the decorations and special recipes, since both sides need the mod.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who cook in Farmer's Delight and want Japanese New Year food, and home builders who want holiday decorations. It is not a standalone food mod, because the recipes depend on the base mod.
