Overview

Strat's Food Expansion! This add-on nerfs all existing vanilla foods and requires more progression for you to obtain a fulfilling meal!

Discover and create new foods to give you the meals that your stomach deserves! This add-on was created to give you a challenge and make you eat more than just a few portions of beef every now and then.

Cook Book

In my best way possible, I've provided information on all equipment and summarised what to expect in the Cook Book, as an intro to the add-on, so you don't have to read too much of this page.

Nature

As you explore, you will encounter some things that will help you make some of your favourite foods.

Crop Bush

When breaking these, you will have a chance of obtaining most of the new crops: tomato, lettuce, tea leaves and coffee beans, along with other vanilla crops, like potatoes, melon, etc.

There are four new types: Forest Bushes, Taiga Bushes, Tropical Bushes and Torrid Bushes.

You can also collect them by using shears!

Each crop bush type drops their own unique crops, tied to their climate.

Maple Trees

Maple syrup can be gathered from this tree, by using a glass jar when the syrup on the logs has matured.

A whole wood set is also introduced by this tree:

Crop Trees

Occasionally, you will also come across different types of crops on trees, which cannot be found as commonly in the crop bushes, e.g. oranges and coconuts.

Salt Ore

Salt Ore is a white ore, found in caves and mountains. When mining this, you can get from 1-3 pieces of salt, which is a key ingredient for making a lot of foods.

Equipment

Churn

This is used to make butter, by placing milk in it and churning it.

Pestle and Mortar

This is needed for grinding things, like wheat to get flour, sugar canes to get sugar and cocoa beans to get cocoa powder for chocolate!

Toaster

This is used to toast bread, obviously. Just slot some bread slices in the toaster and it will become toast.

This can be buttered and even jam or marmalade can be added to it!

Kitchen Knife

This is needed to cut food on the Chopping Board.

Diamond and Netherite Kitchen Knives are now also available, if you are committed enough for one.

Chopping Board

This is mainly used to cut foods into slices and more (recipes shown in the Cook Book).

Stove

An integral part of your kitchen. 

Used for baking cakes, pies and for general cooking.

Once powered with typical furnace fuel, you may begin baking!

Pot

This is used for making soups/stews and other recipes, such as salt and cheese.

Note: This can only be placed on furnaces or stoves.

Frying Pan

This is used to cook many different foods, as seen from the Cook Book.

Note: This can only be placed on furnaces or stoves.

Blender

Used for making smoothies (recipes shown in Cook Book).

Drinking Glass

Used for cold drinks, like smoothies and juices.

Clay Mug

These are used to make Ceramic Mugs by smelting them.

Ceramic Mug

These are used for hot drinks, e.g. tea or coffee.

Paper Plate

These are needed for making 10 fulfilling meals, like Fish and Chips, Bangers and Mash, Chicken and Waffles, etc.

However, they become dirty and are only a one-time use.

Clay Plate

These are used to make Ceramic Plates by smelting them.

Ceramic Plate

These are an alternative to Paper Plates but are reusable and also now placeable!

Foods

This add-on adds built-in food information, for both nutrition and saturation values, working like AppleSkin. This can be toggled between 2 different formats, or fully disabled.

Because there is a lot of food in this add-on, I'll only give a few examples.

Bread

Bread has been tweaked to become a loaf and its recipe has been changed to make it more difficult to obtain.

First, you will need to make flour, using wheat in a Pestle and Mortar.

Next, you use water, flour and salt, and you get dough.

Finally, after obtaining three dough and placing them in a stove, you get bread!

(Alternatively, you can also create a baguette by placing the dough vertically.)

Then, you can cut the Bread on the Chopping Board to obtain Bread Slices.

Fish and Chips

Fish and Chips is made with fries and cooked cod.

To get fries, you need 2 potatoes and salt, and you fry them in the frying pan.

And with the fries, cooked cod and a plate together, voila! You get Fish and Chips!

Final Note

How to install

  1. Download the file below. On iOS or Android, open it from your Downloads with Minecraft; on Windows, double-click it.
  2. Minecraft imports the pack automatically. Enable it in your world’s settings under Behavior Packs or Resource Packs; an add-on usually needs both.
  3. Playing on a Realm or server? Everyone needs the same packs, and the host has to enable them.
  4. Starting a new world? Choose its seed first: the Seed Map shows villages, structures and biomes near spawn for any Bedrock seed.
