FAQ
Where is the resource pack?
It's packaged with the datapack! The zip file you download can be used interchangeably, so just drop it into your resourcepack and datapack folders and you'll be good to go!
How do I get the cookbook?
Craft it using wheat and a book in a crafting table, but the recipe is unlocked for you by default. Search for "The Craft of Cooking"
Where can I find the seeds for the new crops?
Check the cookbook!
Where can I find the food recipes?
In the cookbook!
I hate the discovery system, how can I unlock all the recipes in the cookbook?
Crop & Kettle has a settings page! Press escape, then click:
Datapacks... > Crop & Kettle > Settings > Unlock Cookbook
How can I get rid of the chat spam from turning pages in the cookbook?
These can be disabled by running /gamerule send_command_feedback false. Do note that this disables feedback from all commands. Modern versions of the datapack also include a setting called "dynamic command feedback", this can be enabled by running /function dcf:on or via the admin panel: /function cnk:admin_panel. This will only disable the send_command_feedback gamerule when someone has a book open.
Will you port to version 1.X.X?
The answer will always be "if I have time". However, Crop & Kettle is made using a lot of features (dialogs, etc...) that were added in 1.21.6, hence it being the earliest version its currently available on. But who knows what the future holds!
How do I make an addon/add compatibility to my datapack?
Glad you asked! Checkout the wiki, it has a guide on how to do add recipes and cookbook pages, as well as an example addon!
Why can't I see the items in the creative menu or in REI/JEI/NEI?
This is a datapack with re-packaged mod versions for convenience of installation. It is currently not possible for custom items added by datapacks to be added to the creative menu or detected by any REI-like mod.
