About this Mod
Culinary Compat!
The ultimate culinary compatibility mod! Bridging the culinary gaps between mods like Farmers Delight (+ addons) and Cooking for Blockheads, the Pam's mods, Croptopia, AE2, & many others with additions, bug fixes, & more! A must-have mod for culinary connoisseurs!

See the CHANGELOG for all changes.
Full Featureset
- Kitchen Multiblock
The Farmer's Delight (Pot, Skillet, Cutting Board) blocks are now registered as valid CFB "Kitchen Multiblock" blocks. All their respective recipes are visible through the CFB "Cooking Table"!
Pam's HarvestCraft 2 recipes (cutting board, skillet, pot, saucepan, oven) are bridged too, each gated on the correct Farmer's Delight tool being in the kitchen. If Farmer's Delight Version doesn't exist, Pam's tool serves as replacement.
Croptopia is the same: frying pan recipes route to the Skillet, cooking pot recipes to the Cooking Pot, knife recipes to the Cutting Board (with a Farmer's Delight knife), and food press / mortar & pestle recipes just need the tool stored anywhere in the kitchen. Multi-tool recipes require all of their tools.
- Croptopia Integration
Full Croptopia support with Farmer's Delight taking priority! Croptopia duplicates (tomato, onion, rice, cabbage, bacon, milk bottle, dough, and 9 duplicate meals) are hidden and their recipes disabled or rewritten to the Farmer's Delight item. Croptopia meals like jams, borscht, cheese, and ice creams can be cooked in the Farmer's Delight cooking pot (adapted from ACCBDD's Farmers Croptopia). The kitchen Sink provides water bottles and the Milk Jar / Cow in a Jar provides milk bottles, each draining only a quarter bucket. Croptopia's gather advancements are also fixed to count the Farmer's Delight equivalents.
- Custom Bakeware Block
New Bakeware block, custom block to Culinary Compat which allows all Pam's bakeware recipes plus Croptopia's baked goods (pizzas, pies, pastries, roasted dishes)! Instead of unintuitive shapeless crafting, the CFB recipes mimic an oven! Click once to confirm, click again to bake, 4-second timer with cooldown overlay, sounds, and a cancel-refund. Fully configurable, and available with either Pam's or Croptopia installed.
- AE2 Wireless Bridge
The ME Kitchen Station wirelessly links any Applied Energistics 2 ME network to your CFB kitchen multiblock. Bidirectional by default: your AE2 network can feed kitchen recipes AND your kitchen cabinets, fridges, and counters show up on your ME terminal. Right-click the block for a settings panel to switch direction modes (ME → Kitchen, Kitchen → ME, or Bidirectional), a cosmetic screen toggle, and a wrench tab opening AE2's native priority page. Thanks Sebastrn!
- Head Chef's Journal
A Patchouli guidebook crafted with a vanilla book + cake. Categories and entries auto-show/hide based on which optional mods you have installed, so it stays relevant to whatever subset of integrations you're running. Currently covers the AE2 bridge in depth, more sections will be added as the mod grows as well!
- Food Rebalancing
Optional restore of Pam's 1.12.2 food values, optional strip of edibility from ingredients (butter, spices, etc.), optional nerf of vanilla Minecraft foods. These Features have been forked from Pixel1011's Mod PamsHC2 Food Nerf!
- Recipe Viewers
JEI and EMI plugins with seven kitchen-bridge categories (cutting board, skillet, oven, pot, bakeware, food press, mortar & pestle) and workstation hints.
- Configuration
Client and server config files are included, covering things like the bakeware timer, cutting board multi-input stacking (multiCutting), and missing-dependency login notices (notifyMissingDeps). More options will be added as well. Feel free to give some suggestions!
