Lycanite Delight

Monster ecology through cuisine.

Lycanite Delight bridges Lycanites Mobs and Farmer's Delight so the beasts you hunt become the dinner you cook. Hunt a monster, butcher its meat on a cutting board, simmer it in a cooking pot, and eat the result to survive whatever the world throws at you next — then do it all again, better.

This is a compatibility mod: it requires both Lycanites Mobs and Farmer's Delight, and makes them feel like one ecosystem instead of two mods sharing a world.

✦ Features

🔪 Butchery Every Lycanites raw meat has a knife cutting recipe into a prepared cut — Maka Ribs, Krake Steak, Ika Tentacle, Aspid Cutlet, and more. Land a clean knife kill and you'll field-dress quality-graded cuts (Prime / Pristine) and creature byproducts like venom glands and veshoney.

🍲 Cooking A keystone Monster Stock anchors a web of cooking-pot recipes, including proper Farmer's Delight routes for Lycanites' own legendary foods — Battle Burrito, Seashell Maki, Caecilian Ramen, Blood Chili, Tropical Curry, Moss Pie, and Pale Soup.

🔥❄ Elemental Marinades Turn a prepared cut into a Fire, Frost, Brine, Shade, or Venom-Cured cut. Marinades make risky meats safe and unlock elemental cuisine.

🧭 Elemental Attunement Eat from one elemental cuisine and your palate attunes — gaining standing resistance to that element. Lean too hard into fire and the cold bites deeper. Your menu becomes a strategy you carry into a mob event.

🛡 Event Platters Cook Emberguard Roast, Stormwatch Chowder, Nightwatch Custard, or Plague Doctor's Broth ahead of an event and eat a serving for the counter-buff when the horde arrives.

🌱 Diet & Ecology Farmer's Delight crops and meals become real food for Lycanites creatures through clean, pack-overridable bridge tags — plus per-creature favorite foods.

✦ Requirements

• Minecraft 1.20.1 · Forge 47.2.20+ · Java 17
• Lycanites Mobs (1.20.1 alpha) — required
• Farmer's Delight 1.3.2 — required
• Optional: JEI, EMI, AppleSkin, CraftTweaker

Both required mods must be installed. Lycanite Delight adds the connective tissue between them.

✦ For modpack authors

• Every recipe, tag, diet assignment, and loot table is datapack-editable.
• Cross-mod entries use auditable lycanitesdelight:* bridge tags — retune diets and cuisines without touching the base mods' files.
• Every behavior is config-gated (server config), including elemental attunement strength, butchery loot multiplier, and effect-stacking strictness.

✦ Early release notice

This is an early 0.1.0 release. The full content and data layer is complete and verified. A known upstream issue in the current Lycanites Mobs alpha prevents dedicated-server boot, so some runtime behaviors are not yet server-tested — single-player and recipe/tag content are unaffected. See the changelog and GitHub for details.
