Cook dishes in a cauldron on a campfire: 16 recipes, 5 chef levels and tasty potion effects.

3 min read 4 sections

Cooking turns the food you farm and fish into dishes that give extra hunger and potion effects for several minutes. The more you cook, the higher your chef level and the better the recipes you unlock.

🔥 Build a cooking pot

  1. 1

    Place a campfire

    Place a campfire (or a soul campfire) and make sure it is lit.

  2. 2

    Put a cauldron on top

    Place a cauldron right on top of the campfire. That is your cooking pot.

  3. 3

    Choose a recipe

    Right-click the cauldron with an empty hand. A menu lists the recipes you know, with the ingredients you already have in green. Click a dish to choose it. A cauldron without a campfire under it still works as a normal cauldron.

  4. 4

    Add the ingredients

    A floating window above the pot lists what is needed. Right-click the pot holding each ingredient to add it, one at a time (sneak to add the whole stack the recipe needs).

  5. 5

    Let it cook

    When everything is in, the dish cooks by itself: bubbles, smoke and the dish spinning above the pot. You can leave, it keeps cooking, even if the server restarts.

  6. 6

    Take your dish

    When it is ready, right-click the pot with an empty hand to take it. Only the player who chose the recipe can take it.

Pots follow the claim rules

You can only use a pot where you are allowed to use blocks, as in any Towny claim. Build yours in your own plot or town.

👨‍🍳 Chef levels

Every dish you finish counts. Reaching a new level unlocks the recipes of that level. Your level and the full list are in the recipe book.

💡 Good to know

  • You can eat a dish even with a full hunger bar, so its effects are never wasted.
  • Changing the recipe of a pot gives the ingredients back. A pot nobody touched for 30 minutes can be taken over by another player.
  • Renamed or enchanted items can't be used as ingredients.
  • If a pot is broken, it drops the ingredients, or the dish if it was cooking or ready.
