Crop & Kettle is designed to be figured out by playing it, using the advancement tab and cookbook to figure out recipes and what to do next! But if you're stuck, or just want more detail on what the pack offers, then checkout the wiki!
It's packaged with the datapack! The zip file you download can be used interchangeably, so just drop it into your resourcepack and datapack folders and you'll be good to go!
Craft it using wheat and a book in a crafting table, but the recipe is unlocked for you by default. Search for "The Craft of Cooking"
Check the cookbook!
In the cookbook!
Crop & Kettle has a settings page! Press escape, then click:
Datapacks...
> Crop & Kettle
> Settings
> Unlock Cookbook
This is sadly an annoying side effect of how Mojang made dialogs work. I'm hoping it will be fixed in a later version, but for now you can remove it by downloading the unjank mod!
The answer will always be "if I have time". However, Crop & Kettle is made using a lot of features (dialogs, etc...) that were added in 1.21.6, hence it being the earliest version its currently available on. But who knows what the future holds!
Glad you asked! Checkout the wiki, it has a guide on how to do add recipes and cookbook pages, as well as an example addon!
This is a datapack that has been packaged as a mod for convenience of installation. It is currently not possible for custom items added by datapacks to be added to the creative menu or detected by any REI-like mod.
