South American Kitchen
by DeonsGaming
South American Kitchen brings dishes from several South American countries into Forge worlds for Minecraft 1.20.1, with ingredients, recipes and cooking tools inspired by regional kitchens.
What it does
Players gather region-specific ingredients and combine them into traditional meals from different South American countries. Each country's cuisine has its own selection of foods and recipes, and the mod currently names five dishes from Paraguay, Argentina and Chile. Cooking equipment follows crafting methods drawn from South American kitchens, so the preparation steps differ from vanilla food.
The food system is meant to add depth to survival play, and players who want food-related gameplay and a wider picture of Latin American cuisine in Minecraft will find that focus here. The mod is server-side only: players join a server running it without installing anything, and only the server needs the file. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1, with the latest build, 1.0.3, dated 2025-07-13. The mod is distributed under a custom license and is not open source.
