Dice & Delish

Cook smarter. Grow fresh. Zero overhead.

Dice & Delish is a focused, performance-first cooking mod for NeoForge 1.21. It adds a hand-fed Grill Table, a fry-and-fill Skillet, a Cutting Board with a full knife line, four new crops (plus rice!), a refillable Iron Cup, and a growing food chain - all built directly on vanilla's own systems, so it slots into any modpack without dragging in bloat.

✨ Why Dice & Delish?

• ⚡ 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. Put one out with water or a shovel and relight it later with flint and steel, a fire charge, a flaming arrow, or blaze powder.
• 🍳 A Skillet for eggs, tortillas, and more. Fry an egg alone, or drop in Cut Potato or Cut Purple Onion while it cooks to turn it into a Potato or Purple Onion Tortilla instead. Draw raw egg liquid off with an empty Iron Cup and pour it back later. Careless cooks beware - a hot Skillet will burn anyone who steps on it.
• 🔪 A full cutting line. The Cutting Board turns raw ingredients into prep work - dice chicken, slice cheese, cut potatoes and onions - with a complete knife tier set from Stone up through Obsidian and Netherite.
• 🍅 Actual farming, not filler crops. Strawberries, tomatoes (grown on a pole!), lettuce, purple onion, and now rice 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. Dedicated recipe categories show every recipe and its catalyst at a glance, and multi-state items like the Iron Cup are recognized as distinct, searchable items automatically.
• 🔍 Interactive Jade tooltips. Hover a lit Grill Table or an active Skillet 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.
