Agriculture

A Mod from Team Metallurgy

Authors: Odininon, RebelKeithy, Shadowclaimer

Agriculture completely upgrades and expands the cooking, farming, and hunger systems in vanilla Minecraft. This modification adds over 120 new recipes, 6 specialized food processing devices, and introduces a completely new hunger mechanic called "Well Fed".

Well Fed System

When you consume food prepared using the technologies of this mod, you gain "Well Fed" status points. These points are displayed on your hunger bar as a golden highlight surrounding the regular indicator, which slowly decreases over time. There are 20 levels of this status available, with each level increasing attack speed and movement speed by 1%.

Food Preparation Devices

The mod adds a complete set of specialized machines that help process and cook various dishes.

The Counter

The Counter serves as a crafting table for culinary purposes. When interacting from the top, a crafting grid opens where you need to place the main ingredient or bowl/plate/cup on the left side, and additional components on the right. The system automatically combines the ingredients into the appropriate item. When approaching the block from the front, it transforms into a storage container.

The Oven

The top part of the Oven also contains a crafting grid for creating recipes, similar to the Counter. However, its front side represents a specialized furnace for thermal food processing. It requires loading coal into the left compartment to maintain temperature. Items inside gradually cook, and this process needs careful monitoring — if overheated, they can burn! Using the slider you can adjust the temperature, which affects both cooking speed and burning time. To process more ingredients simultaneously, you can install additional racks.

The Processor

This device accepts fuel from the front and loaded items from the top. It grinds and mixes multiple ingredients, creating new components for culinary use.

The Brewer

The Brewer heats liquids and mixes them with various ingredients to create new beverages. Simply place a bucket with water or milk in the central compartment — and the left indicator will fill with liquid. Load an ingredient in the middle and fuel at the bottom to start the process. To extract the finished drink, place an empty cup or bucket in the center — the right gauge will show the available liquid volume.

The Icebox

Powered by snowballs and ice blocks, it slowly freezes various food ingredients.

The Frier

The Frier is filled with cooking oil and fries food after sufficient heating.

Crops and Spices

The mod adds various new crops, spices, and salt to the game world. Salt randomly generates underwater, similar to clay. Spices are represented by rare plants that drop particles corresponding to their type when hit (while lowering their growth stage). When the plant reaches the first growth stage, it can be broken and replanted on tilled soil. Use collected spices carefully — their quantity is limited only by what you can find in the world! Currently, the main spice available is cinnamon, but many other variants are planned.

Peanuts and strawberries now appear in dungeon chests — these are new crops you can grow in your garden!
