About this Modpack

You Are What We Eat is a modpack that adds a fully pre-built restaurant to your survival world. No building required — just walk into the kitchen and start cooking!
Guests will come in with orders. Your job is to prepare the right dishes quickly and correctly using the restaurant's ingredients. For each successfully served order, you earn coins.
You can spend these coins to buy any resources you need for survival — from wood and stone to rare ores and potions. The better and faster you cook, the more coins you earn, and the easier your survival becomes. Welcome to your new job as a chef!
The You Are What We Eat mod adds a special spawner block. When placed, this block summons an NPC visitor who asks you for a specific item (food or ingredient).
The restaurant spawns automatically right next to you the moment you appear in the world — no need to search for it, it's always within reach. Inside, the restaurant is divided into three zones for different types of guests: a zone with easy guests for a gentle start, a zone with medium guests for more demanding customers, and a VIP zone for elite visitors with special requests and the best rewards. Besides the regular guests, 4 secret guests are hidden throughout the restaurant and need to be found — they are tucked away in various corners, and discovering each one adds extra depth to the gameplay. The kitchen is fully functional from the start, but the restaurant also features upgrade slots that you can gradually improve as you progress, turning a basic kitchen into a professional cooking space. There is also a small storage room inside the restaurant that holds its own secrets, adding an element of mystery and encouraging further exploration. The modpack includes about 50 mods featuring all kinds of food, so the menu never gets boring — you'll always have new ingredients, recipes, and cooking methods to try, and you'll never run out of things to do.
Your task: find the requested item, give it to the NPC, and receive coins as a reward. Simple cycle: spawner → NPC → request → payment.
