Simplistic Cheese
by Hacker_bot31
Simplistic Cheese is a NeoForge food mod centered on cheese and a few cheese-based dishes, made in a curdling barrel from milk.
What it does
Milk buckets placed in the curdling barrel produce chunks of cheese, which is the base ingredient of the whole mod. Cheese can then be stored in a wheel that is crafted from six chunks, so a supply lasts longer. A jug collects cheese in stages: one chunk fills it a third, two chunks two thirds, and three or more chunks fill it completely. Filled to at least two thirds, the jug can be used to make quesadillas and pepperoni pizza.
One chunk of cheese crafts four slices, and each slice is consumed once in a recipe. The mod also includes cheese armor, which can be crafted from cheese materials. The author notes that the images in the mod's recipe display show how each step works, so the process can be followed without a guide.
The mod is built for NeoForge and runs on 1.21.4. Client and server both need it, so players and the server install it together. Simplistic Cheese is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

How it compares
ProjectCheese is also a NeoForge cheese mod with client and server files, but it targets 1.21.4 – 1.21.6 and is released under All rights reserved. The Cheese Realm covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.3 under the MIT License, so it does not run on 1.21.4. Cheese-Craft targets only 1.21.1. Simplistic Cheese is the option for 1.21.4 alone.
