Farming & Food — Quick Reference

The pack’s culinary ecosystem — the deepest casual progression path on the server. Tutorial: the Kitchen & Farm guide.

The kitchen core

Farmer’s Delight — the cooking backbone: cutting boards, skillets, cooking pots, stoves, rich soil, and meals with real buffs (Nourishment, Comfort). Nearly everything else here plugs into it. → Official wiki (by the mod author)

The Delight addon family — a dozen-plus compat kitchens feeding other mods’ ingredients into Farmer’s Delight cooking: Chef’s Delight, Farmer’s Respite (tea), Ocean’s Delight, Alex’s Delight, Alex’s Caves Delight, L_Ender’s Delight, Aquaculture Delight, Croptopia Delight, Quark Delight, Hearth & Harvest, Lender’s Delight, and more. If a mob or biome exists, someone made it cookable — JEI is the menu.

Cooking for Blockheads — the auto-kitchen: a cooking table whose book shows every recipe you can make from your connected fridges/counters/sink, and crafts with one click. (Farming for Blockheads adds the market for seed shopping.) → CurseForge

Crops & ingredients

Croptopia (+ Additions) — hundreds of crops, fruit trees, and dishes. → CurseForge

Pam’s HarvestCraft 2 (Crops / Trees / Food Core / Food Extended) — the other crop giant, in four modules. → Pam’s HC2 Crops

Aquaculture 2 — fishing overhaul: biome-specific fish, upgradable rods, hooks, bait, and fishing loot. → CurseForge

The Let’s Do series — Vinery (wine), Bakery, Meadow (alpine dairy), and Farm & Charm: themed culinary professions with their own stations and multi-step products. → Let’s Do: Vinery (the others are adjacent on the same author page)

The constraint & the payoff

Serene Seasons — crops only grow in their fertile seasons; Greenhouse Glass is the endgame fix. Covered in the Exploration & Worldgen reference; it matters most right here. → Official wiki

XP From Harvest Reworked — harvesting grants XP; a big farm doubles as an enchanting-level engine.
