Cooking

This is the Matcha Flavoured version of Smelting, renamed or changed from vanilla Minecraft.

Cooking

Type	Mechanic

Cooking turns raw ingredients into food that heals and grants effects. Matcha Flavoured renames the vanilla cooking blocks and gives each one its own role: the oven (furnace) and kindling (campfire) cook food, while the mud kiln (smoker) fires clay, glass and stone and only chars food. Most complex dishes are then crafted at a crafting table from the cooked ingredients.

Stations

Station	Replaces	Recipe type	Food it cooks
Kindling	Campfire	Campfire cooking	All simple preparations (including popped chorus fruit and dried kelp), cooked meat and fish, bread and molasses, but not the five oven meals. Needs no fuel and cooks up to four items at once.
Soul Kindling	Soul Campfire	Campfire cooking	The same as kindling.
Oven	Furnace	Smelting	Everything kindling cooks, and the five oven meals, which only the oven cooks. Needs fuel.
Mud Kiln	Smoker	Smoking	Only naan and the charred foods. It is mainly a kiln for bricks, glass, terracotta and stone.

Food recipes give 0.35 experience, except molasses, which gives 0.01. They take 5 seconds (100 ticks) in the oven and 10 seconds (200 ticks) on kindling. The mud kiln's food recipes are set to 200 ticks, but in Minecraft 26.3 a smoker (and a blast furnace) cooks twice as fast as a furnace, so they also take 5 seconds. The oven meals take 15 seconds (300 ticks) and cook only in the oven. Kindling therefore cooks food three times as fast as a vanilla campfire (30 seconds), and the oven twice as fast as a vanilla furnace.

The pack removes every vanilla cooking recipe for food (meat, fish, potatoes, kelp) and replaces it with its own, so vanilla cooked food can't be made.

Charring

The mud kiln is not meant for food. Raw meat, raw fish and potatoes put in it come out as charred meat, charred fish and charred potatoes, which heal less than the properly cooked versions (2 ( × 1) instead of 4 ( × 2) for meat, 1 ( × 0.5) instead of 5 ( × 2.5) for a potato) and have no other use. Dough is the exception: the kiln bakes it into naan instead of bread.

Progression

The README's advice for new players is to start with a campfire, a wooden hoe and grass. The stations unlock in this order:

1. Kindling is crafted from 2 sticks and 2 logs and is always placed unlit. It is lit with tinder or a fire starter (Prometheus be Damned).
2. Grass broken with a hoe drops short grass, and 1 time in 8 wheat grain instead. Cooking grass on kindling dries it (Harvester). Dry grass, straw and mud make packed mud.
3. The mud kiln is crafted from 4 mud bricks, 2 packed mud and a kindling (Ancient Technology). It fires clay balls into bricks.
4. The oven is crafted from 3 iron ingots, 4 bricks and a kindling (Now You're Cooking). The oven can't smelt ores; that needs a blast furnace.
5. Bricks also make bowls (Manners First), which unlock the stocks for the oven meals.

Recipe unlocks

Recipes appear in the recipe book through hidden advancements in advancement/recipe_unlocks. Each one fires when the player first has a certain item in their inventory and grants the recipes that use it:

• Picking up a raw ingredient unlocks its oven recipe. For example, a pumpkin unlocks baked pumpkin, and carrots unlock steamed carrots, pickled carrots, carrot cupcake and Pad Thai.
• Obtaining a cooked ingredient unlocks the preserves and meals made from it. For example, a baked pumpkin unlocks pumpkin jam and pumpkin empanada.
• Intermediates chain on: wheat grain unlocks flour; flour unlocks dough, bag of flour and cake; dough unlocks bread, naan and seitan; a bowl unlocks all five stocks; each stock unlocks its oven meal.
• A Cooking Recipe unlocks one secret dish.

Campfire recipes are never added to the recipe book, but kindling doesn't use the recipe book, so they work regardless. Unlocks only affect the recipe book: the pack doesn't turn on the limitedCrafting game rule, so any recipe can be crafted by placing its ingredients by hand. Recipes that are never unlocked are the secret recipes.

When a player joins a world whose pack version is newer than the one they last played with, all their recipe unlocks are revoked so that changed recipes are re-learned.

Other cooking recipes

Kindling and the oven also dry plants: grass and ferns become short or tall dry grass, and bushes become dead bushes. Kindling fires clay balls into bricks. The oven cleans mossy cobblestone and mossy stone bricks, dries wet sponges and turns grass blocks into dirt. See each station's page.

History

0.5-alpha	Cooking food on a campfire gives the matching recipe unlocks. The golden carrot recipe unlocks with a gold nugget, and the milk bottle recipe with milk.
0.7-alpha	Dough and bread give the proper recipes.
1.02	Grass drops wheat seeds when broken with a hoe. Campfire and food advancements reworded.
1.03	Clay can be cooked on kindling. Charcoal and glazed terracotta moved to the kiln.
1.10	Tomato, melon, honey and carrot recipes unlock from the raw food. All food except curries cooks faster in the oven. Quartz and amethyst can be kilned. Recipe unlocks are revoked when a player joins with a newer pack version, so changed recipes are learned again.
1.11	Restored the recipes, which had been accidentally deleted in 1.10.
1.12.1-alpha	Cactus can be cooked again. Copper, ancient debris and stone can no longer be smelted in the oven. Cooking, kilning and blasting recipes reorganized.
1.12.3	Kindling cooks pumpkin curry, popped chorus fruit and dried kelp too, so it matches the oven. Small fish and large fish each cook with one recipe. The kiln chars any fish.
1.12.5	The oven meals (the curries and tonkotsu ramen) can no longer be cooked on kindling, only in the oven.
1.12.6-alpha	Food takes 10 seconds to cook on kindling, up from 5. For Minecraft 26.3, where smokers and blast furnaces cook at double speed, every mud kiln and blast furnace recipe has twice as many ticks, so they take as long as before.
