Description
Cook smarter. Grow fresh. Zero overhead.
NerdSoft Kitchen is a focused, performance-first cooking mod for NeoForge 1.21. It adds a hand-fed grill table, four new crops, a refillable Iron Cup, and a small but satisfying food chain — all built directly on vanilla's own systems, so it slots into any modpack without dragging in bloat.
🧪 Beta 0.2 — core gameplay is implemented and stable. Content and balance are still being tuned, and your feedback shapes what comes next.
✨ Why NerdSoft Kitchen?
- ⚡ Genuinely lightweight. Recipes, loot tables, tags, and language files are all datagen-based — no redundant JSON sprawl, no unnecessary tick overhead. The mod does exactly what it needs to and nothing more.
- 🔥 A real grill, not a reskinned furnace. The Grill Table runs 4 dedicated grill slots on a custom cook recipe plus 4 campfire slots side by side — two cooking methods, one block. A nearby hay bale speeds things up, and the Soul variant burns even faster.
- 🍅 Actual farming, not filler crops. Strawberries, tomatoes (grown on a pole!), lettuce, and purple onion each have their own growth stages — and wild versions generate naturally, so you can start snacking (or farming) before you've built a single planter.
- 🥛 A cup that's actually reusable. Fill the Iron Cup with milk from a cow, then turn it into yogurt or strawberry yogurt. It's tracked as a proper item data component — not a pile of near-identical NBT items clogging your JEI search.
- 🔌 Seamless JEI integration. A dedicated Grill Cooking category shows every recipe and its catalyst at a glance, and the Iron Cup's fill states are recognized as distinct, searchable items automatically.
- 🔍 Interactive Jade tooltips. Hover a lit Grill Table to see exactly what's cooking inside — no need to open a GUI just to check.
- 🌍 Bilingual out of the box. Ships with full English and Spanish translations from day one.
