About this Mod
🥗 CulinaryCraft
Bring the taste of a real kitchen to Minecraft!
Ever wanted to run your own restaurant in Minecraft? Now you can! This mod adds a whole culinary experience to your world — from growing fresh ingredients to frying up crispy fries in a custom Frying Station.

🌱 Crops & Farming
Grow your own ingredients! Five new crops can be discovered by breaking grass:
- 🍅 Tomato Plant — drops fresh Tomatoes
- 🥒 Cucumber Plant — for that extra crunch
- 🧅 Onion Plant — because every dish needs one
- 🌿 Mustard Plant — grow your own condiments
- 🌾 Rice Plant — a unique water crop! Place Rice Seeds by right-clicking on the ground beneath shallow water. Grows in 4 stages and drops Rice when fully mature.
💡 Seeds drop randomly (10% chance) when breaking Grass — just like real-life foraging!
🛠️ Tools
- 🍳 Spatula — the essential cooking tool, used as a crafting ingredient
- 🔪 Knife — a durable iron knife for food preparation. Works as a crafting remainder — loses durability with each use!
⛏️ World Generation
- Salt Ore — spawns underground in stone layers. Mine it to obtain Salt for seasoning your food!
🍳 Frying Station
The heart of the mod! The Frying Station works like a furnace but uses custom frying recipes.
- Toss in raw fries, add some fuel, and get perfectly fried results
- The block lights up when active
- Works with hoppers for automation
