RestaurantCraft
by bwrayne
RestaurantCraft lets players build and run restaurants in the world, with a menu, ordering and food that fits into the survival loop.
What it does
Players set up a restaurant from in-game blocks and items, then take orders and serve food to customers. The mod is aimed at the Food and Adventure categories, with content built around cooking and service rather than raw food stats. A Kingslav Games McDonald's schematic is included among the example builds, and the feature set was made with MCreator.
Forge and NeoForge are the supported loaders. Builds exist for 1.20.1, 1.20.6 and 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file on each loader, released on 2024-08-27. Server owners install it, and players connect with no copy of their own. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features

Who it’s for: Players who want a restaurant or food-service gameplay loop on a Forge or NeoForge server, and server owners looking for a themed service activity.
How it compares
Mcdonalds Fries is also a Forge and NeoForge mod, but it is built for 1.19.2 – 1.21.5 and needs both the client and the server. McDonalds, by contrast, is NeoForge-only, covers 1.21.8 – 26.1.2 and also runs client and server. Minechef is open source under the MIT License, with a single version, 1.20.1, and a client and server environment. RestaurantCraft differs in being server-side only and not open source.
