Refined Cooking

by Sebastrn

Refined Cooking links the Refined Storage network to Cooking for Blockheads, so a cooking table can draw ingredients from storage.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.16.5 – 26.1.2

What it does

The mod adds two blocks and one item. A Kitchen Station acts as a Refined Storage receiver and is placed as part of the kitchen network. A Kitchen Access Point acts as a transmitter and sits inside the Refined Storage network. Between them, a Kitchen Network Card is attached to the station and then placed inside the access point.

Once the pieces are connected, a cooking table consumes items directly from the storage network. Water and milk are drawn from fluid storage in the same way. Refined Cooking is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.16.5 – 26.1.2.

Required dependencies are Balm, Cooking for Blockheads, Fabric API, Refined Storage and SebastrnLib. Fabric API applies to Fabric installs only. Jade, Just Enough Items, Patchouli and The One Probe are optional. Patchouli is needed to read the in-game guide, which is a Patchouli book.
