Refined Cooking
A mod that allows Refined Storage and Cooking for Blockheads to work together!
About this Mod
This is a mod that allows Refined Storage and Cooking for Blockheads to work together!
Two new blocks (Kitchen Station and Kitchen Access Point) and one item (Kitchen Network Card) added.
The Kitchen Station needs to be placed as part of the kitchen network and the Kitchen Access Point needs to be placed in the Refined Storage Network.
The Kitchen Station acts as Refined Storage Network Receiver and needs to be attached to a Kitchen Network Card. Then this Kitchen Network Card needs to be placed inside a Kitchen Access Point, which acts as a Refined Storage Network Transmitter.
Once everything is connected, you'll be able to consume items from your Refined Storage network right from your cooking table.
Water and milk are pulled straight from fluid storage as well.

Integrations
The mod runs fine on its own. The optional mods below are supported depending on the Minecraft version. The in-game guide is a Patchouli book, so Patchouli needs to be installed to read it.
| Minecraft | Loader | JEI | REI | EMI | Jade | The One Probe | Patchouli |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.18.x, 1.19.x, 1.20.1 | Forge | No | No | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 1.20.4 | NeoForge | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 1.21.1 | NeoForge, Fabric | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes (NeoForge) | Yes |
| 26.1.2 | NeoForge, Fabric | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | No | Yes |
On 1.21.1, The One Probe works on NeoForge only, since it has no Fabric build. Jade covers the same in-world info on Fabric.

Refined Cooking server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Refined Cooking compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?
Refined Cooking officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 26.1.2, 1.21.1, 1.20.4. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Refined Cooking – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Refined Cooking consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
