Overcooked
by mc.schnitzel
Overcooked is a NeoForge food mod for 1.21.1 that turns cooked food and golden items into ashes used to craft reinforced building blocks.
What it does
Cooking certain foods in a smoking furnace produces burnt food, and the burnt results leave ashes behind. Regular ashes come from ordinary cooked items such as cooked beef, cooked pork, cooked chicken, cooked mutton, cooked rabbit and cookies. Golden ashes come from golden items, including golden apples, enchanted golden apples and golden carrots. The type of ash depends on the food that was burned, so players need to cook each input the right way to get the ash they want.
Ashes are used as ingredients for two tiers of building blocks. Regular ashes craft Reinforced Stone, Reinforced Obsidian and other reinforced blocks that add durability over their vanilla counterparts. Golden ashes craft Strongly Reinforced Stone and Strongly Reinforced Obsidian, which offer the highest resistance to explosions and player damage. The mod is client and server, so both the server and every player need it installed. Files exist only for NeoForge, with the 0.1 release for 1.21.1 published on 2024-10-15 under All rights reserved.

How it compares
Just Ash is the closest alternative, with a server-required, client-optional environment, the MIT License and open source status. It also targets 1.21.1 on NeoForge. Reinforced Wood is a Client and server NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, not open source, and it adds wood-based reinforced blocks rather than stone and obsidian.
