The Cat's Delight
by Winkwing
With The Cat's Delight installed, cooks gain fantasy ingredients and dishes that extend Farmer's Delight with magical content.
What it does
The mod adds two magical ingredients for cooking: Arcane Seeds and Boombud Spice. Arcane Seeds are made from wheat seeds as a base, with a magic piece, lapis, and an enriched tear from a ghast. Boombud Spice is obtained by cutting the dangerous boombud plant, which yields a spice with a spicy, slightly bitter taste. Chikara plants are harvested for their fruit, which has a savoury skin and a sweet inside. Both plants are new, and the recipes that use them are the key ingredient cooking of the mod.
The mod is an add-on to Farmer's Delight, which must be installed first, and it also needs Curios API and Geckolib. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files exist only for Forge and only for 1.20.1, with 0.4.0 as the latest build, published 2024-08-02.

How it compares
Spiced! - [Farmer's Delight Add-on] is a Forge add-on for 1.20.1 that also runs on client and server, but it is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is not open source. Spanish Delight is a Forge option for 1.20.1 with client and server support, and it is open source under the MIT License. The Cat's Delight differs by focusing on magical plants and Arcane Seeds rather than regional cuisine.
