Herbcraft: Cuisine | 百草可食：膳房分册

Herbcraft: Cuisine is an optional addon for Herbcraft Core. It turns raw herbs and natural materials into water bowls, fixed dishes, medicinal meals, hodgepodge, and hidden high-tier cuisine.

If raw herb eating is a gamble, cuisine is craft: use preparation and heat to make wild nature steadier.

What it adds

Water bowls

• Fill bowls from water sources or water cauldrons.
• Drink them for brief relief.
• Use them as a base for many medicinal dishes.
• Water bowls do not directly repair long-term nutrition.

Fixed dishes and medicinal meals

Cuisine adds curated dishes and medicinal cooking routes. Depending on the dish, meals can:

• clear selected effects;
• grant temporary effect immunity;
• restore health or add short buffs;
• help prepare for specific dangers;
• provide nutrition through Herbcraft’s long-term nutrition system.

Many medicinal meals use a two-step route:

1. craft a raw dish with a water bowl and specific ingredients;
2. cook it in a furnace, smoker, or campfire.

Herbal Hodgepodge / 百草盅

Hodgepodge is the fast, experimental path:

• craft it with an empty bowl and valid Herbcraft herbs;
• it stores its ingredients as item data;
• it resolves herb effects when eaten;
• mixed positive and negative herbs can clash.

Hodgepodge is intentionally separate from water-bowl dishes and vanilla suspicious stew.

Hidden meals

Cuisine includes hidden high-tier dishes:

• Hundred-Flower Feast / 百花宴
• Deadly Hodgepodge / 剧毒蛊

These are not listed as ordinary recipes at the start. They are discovered through pages, practice, and knowledge.

Optional Alchemy catalyst link

If Herbcraft: Alchemy is also installed, some hidden meals can become alchemical catalysts.

The Cuisine Codex now says this clearly: the cooking chapter can hint at the path, but the alchemy linkage needs the Alchemy chapter/module present.

Requirements

• Minecraft Java Edition 26.1.2
• Fabric Loader 0.19.3+
• Fabric API 0.151.0+26.1.2+
• Java 25+

Chinese description / 中文简介

百草可食：膳房分册 是 Herbcraft Core 的可选附属。它加入盛水的碗、固定菜、药膳、生坯烹饪、百草盅、百花宴和剧毒蛊。

它的定位不是生吃的赌博，而是用准备、配方和火候换取更可控的清除、免疫、营养和战斗收益。膳房分册不需要炼金分册；但如果同时安装炼金分册，某些隐藏料理可以作为高级炼药催化剂。

Description (for the description/body field)

What is Herbcraft: Cuisine?

An expansion for Herbcraft that adds a water bowl, curated dishes, medicinal meals with effect immunity, the Herbal Hodgepodge, and two hidden recipes that double as alchemy catalysts. If eating herbs is gambling and brewing potions is a contract, cooking is a craft.

Requires Herbcraft Core.

The Water Bowl

Right-click a water source with an empty bowl. The water bowl extinguishes fire, has a 15% chance to clear nausea, and is the starting ingredient for every medicinal dish.

Dishes (32 total)

10 Curated Dishes — fixed recipes using herbs and bowls. Dandelion Salad, Pine Needle Soup, Twin Fungus Hotpot, Bitter Remedy, and more.

22 Medicinal Dishes — advanced preparations that go beyond nutrition:

• Soul-Cleansing Stew: Clears wither + wither immunity for 60 seconds
• Fatigue-Breaking Stew: Clears mining fatigue + haste I + fatigue immunity for 60 seconds
• Omen-Calming Porridge: Clears Bad Omen + resistance II + omen immunity for 120 seconds
• Crimson War Hotpot: Strength + speed + fire resistance for combat

The key innovation: medicinal dishes don't just clear debuffs — they grant temporary immunity afterward. This is what separates them from milk. Milk clears everything indiscriminately, including your buffs. A medicinal dish clears a specific problem, prevents it from returning, and gives you a buff on top.

Raw → Cooked Pipeline

All medicinal dishes follow the same flow:

1. Water bowl + ingredients → raw dish (inedible)
2. Raw dish → furnace / smoker / campfire → finished dish

The Herbal Hodgepodge / 百草盅

Empty bowl + 3-4 herbs at the crafting table. Each herb's effects fire independently with a +15% probability bonus. Mixing conflicting herbs risks a pharmacological clash. The tooltip reveals nothing — you learn which combinations work through experience.

Two Hidden Dishes

Two secret recipes exist, hidden from the recipe book and the Codex until discovered. One is a feast of seven flowers. The other is a brew of four poisons.

When both Cuisine and Alchemy are installed, these hidden dishes gain a second identity as brewing catalysts that force Exceptional quality on potions.

Effect Immunity System

Cuisine introduces a cross-module effect immunity system. When a medicinal dish clears a debuff, it also immunizes you against that debuff for a set duration. Immunities persist through re-login but clear on death.

Village Trades (19 trades)

Butchers sell water bowls and soups. Farmers buy prepared dishes. Librarians sell cuisine tattered pages.
