What it does

The mod adds a cooking and dining chain built around a wok, a chopping board and chopsticks. Ingredients are chopped on the board, stir-fried in the wok and then eaten with chopsticks, which is the main loop the mod introduces. Consumption animations for beverages and snacks play when the player presses the U key, and the key binding can be changed on the controls settings page.

The mod works with Kaleidoscope Cookery, which it requires, and its rice cooking system, so rice can go into stir-fry dishes. Rice items from Kaleidoscope Cookery and Farmer's Delight can be held in the off-hand and eaten with the T key. Item animations are added through a documented process, and model animations and multiple animation sounds can be set through resource packs. It is not limited to food.

Installation needs Architectury API, Geckolib, Kaleidoscope Cookery and Kaleidoscope Cookery Refabricated. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 under the MIT License. The source code is public.
