Minecraft: Farmer’s Delight Mod Showcase | A Huge Expansion to Farming

Farmer’s Delight is a popular mod for Minecraft,  which expands on the farming and cooking system.   It’s available for newer versions of the game, for  users on both Forge and Fabric. In this video, I’m   going to showcase the basics of the mod, and how  you can get started with it. I’ve also installed  

Simply Houses and Oh The Biomes You’ll Go in  this video, just for some minor improvements. One of the first items you’ll want to craft  is a Knife. These can be crafted from Flint,   Iron, Gold, Diamond and Netherite.  Knives can be used as a weapon,  

But they deal less damage compared to Swords.  However, they do have a higher attack speed. But they have some more useful  uses. When killing a creature,   you’re guaranteed to receive their secondary  drop at least once. So this might be Feathers  

From Chickens, or Leather from Cows. They  can also be used to obtain Ham from Pigs,   and Straw from Grass, which you might  need as you progress through the mod. Later on, the Knife can be used alongside a  Cutting Board to process ingredients and create  

Portions of food. Like with Swords, they’re  able to receive Enchantments such as Smite,   Sharpness and Looting. There’s also  a new Backstabbing Enchantment,   which amplifies damage when  striking targets from behind. As previously mentioned, Knives can  also be used to obtain Straw from  

Grassy plants. Straw can be used to  create items like Compost and Canvas,   but also for creating Ropes. When deployed,  Rope will act similar to Scaffolding,   except they fall downwards, allowing  players to safely ascend and descend. 5 Ropes can also be used to create a Lead,  

Which should help with herding animals early  on into your playthrough. By combining 4 Ropes,   you can create a Safety Net, which can be  fallen onto, completely negating fall damage. When exploring your world, you might come  across new Crops which grow in the wild.  

Wild Crop growth is biome dependent, so you’ll  find these spawning all over the place. With   them being so rough, you will only obtain  one sample or seed when harvesting them. If you’re struggling to find these Wild Crops,   then there’s other places to search. Try  searching Chests, either within Villager homes,  

Or in Shipwrecks as you might obtain some  Seeds there. You can find Wild Cabbage,   Onions, Tomatoes, Carrots, Potatoes, Beet,  Rice, Brown Mushrooms and Red Mushrooms. Once you feel ready to start creating some new  meals, craft the Cooking Pot from 5 Iron Ingots,  

A Bucket of Water, 2 Bricks, and a  Wood Shovel. The Cooking Pot needs   a heated block underneath it, like a  Campfire, Stove, Magma Block, Fire,   or Lava. You’ll know a Cooking Pot is heated  as it will have boiling bubble particles.

Inside the Cooking Pot interface are 6  slots for ingredients, and 1 slot for a   container. Prepared meals will appear in the  pot-shaped slot, and will be emptied into   any added containers. Types of containers that  recipes will require are Bowls, Glass Bottles,  

And Pumpkins. You can see all the available  Cooking Pot recipes using Just Enough Items. Some foods that can be created are Hot  Cocoa, Ratatouille, Squid Ink Pasta,   Beef Stew, Pumpkin Soup, and even Dog Food. Consuming meals prepared in a Cooking Pot will  give effects like Nourishment and Comfort.  

With Comfort, you’ll still have passive health  regeneration regardless of your hunger level,   which will be very useful in boss  fights where saturation is low. Meanwhile, Nourishment will prevent players from   losing both hunger and saturation from  exhausting actions, such as running,   jumping and attacking mobs. It also  negates the hunger effect in general.

Farmer’s Delight also introduces both Dog Food and  Horse Feed, which can be fed to your companions.   These can grant effects like Speed, Strength  and Jump Boost when fed to any tamed pets. The Skillet can be crafted from 4 Iron Ingots and  a Brick. Firstly, it can be used as a weapon, with  

It having an attack damage value of 8. However,  its main use is as a portable cooking station. When holding a Skillet, hold another uncooked  item in your other hand. When near a heat source,   you can hold the right mouse button, and the  raw food will begin to cook in the Skillet.

Alternatively, you can sneak and right click  to place the Skillet down. If it’s above a   heat source, then it can be used to cook foods.  In its block form, the Skillet is able to hold   a stack of items, and will throw cooked  items to the side, like a Campfire would.

An item that you might want to use is the Basket,   which can be created from 3 Canvas and 4 Bamboo.  It acts similar to a Hopper, and will collect   items that are thrown into it, with it having  the same inventory size as a Chest or Barrel.

So it’s a good idea to place Baskets  next to cooking blocks like the Skillet,   so they automatically collect your cooked  foods. Unlike a Hopper, Baskets don’t have   a method of transporting items between blocks. There’s a few drinks that can be created through  

Farmer’s Delight, such as Milk Bottles,  Hot Cocoa, Apple Cider and Melon Juice. 4 Milk Bottles can be created in a crafting grid.  They work in most recipes that require Milk,   and they can also be stored in a stack of  16, making them easier to store and carry.  

When consuming a milk bottle, a single  random effect will be removed from the   player. The effect can be either positive  or negative, it’s completely random. Hot Cocoa can be brewed in  the Cooking Pot using Milk,   Sugar and 2 Cocoa Beans, with a Glass  Bottle for the container. When consumed,  

It will remove a single negative effect from the  player, allowing you to keep the positive ones. Apple Cider can also be created in the Cooking  Pot, using 2 Apples and 1 Sugar in a Glass   Bottle. It will grant the Absorption  1 effect for 1 minute when consumed.

Finally, there’s Melon Juice. This can be crafted  from 4 Melon Slices, 1 Sugar and 1 Glass Bottle   in a regular crafting grid. When consumed,  it instantly restores 1 heart of health. Stoves are an upgrade to the Campfire,  and can be crafted using 4 Bricks,  

3 Iron Ingots and a Campfire. As long as the top  is clear, items can be added to the grill by right   clicking it. The Stove is able to cook 6 items at  once, and like a Campfire, no fuel is required.

One of the best uses for Stoves is for heating  up either the Cooking Pot or Skillet. Stoves can   be extinguished using Shovels or Water,  and reignited with a Flint and Steel. The Cutting Board can be crafted with  4 Planks and 2 Sticks. It can then be  

Placed down on a block of your choice.  The Cutting Board is able to break down   an item into multiple outputs. The  best way to use it is to place the   receiving item in your off-hand slot,  and hold the tool in your main-hand. Items from the Cutting Board are swiped sideways,  

Allowing them to be collected in the  likes of Baskets and Hoppers. Tools that   can be used alongside the Cutting Board are  Knives, Pickaxes, Axes, Shovels and Shears. With a Shovel, Clay Blocks can be turned  into Clay Balls, and Flint can be obtained  

From Gravel. Wooden items like Doors, Signs  and Trapdoors can be broken down into Planks   with an Axe. A Knife can be used to obtain  Dyes from Flowers, or to portion foods,   like obtaining Chicken Cuts from Chickens, or  Cabbage Leaf from Cabbage. Using a Pickaxe with  

The Cutting Board allows you to turn Stone into  Cobblestone, or obtain Bricks from Brick Blocks,   among a few other items. Or Shears can be  used to retrieve the Leather from Leather   items. This is another situation where  you’ll want to use Just Enough Items  

To see every possible recipe, as the cutting  board has around one hundred different uses. Feasts are large meals that can  be placed in the game-world,   similar to a Cake. Like Cakes, they also  provide multiple servings to players.   You might like them for decoration, or  for just having quick access to food.

Currently, there’s 4 different Feasts  included, which are the Honey Glazed Ham,   Shepherd’s Pie, Roast Chicken and Stuffed  Pumpkin. When they’re placed down,   they all look 3D, and you can  take servings using a Bowl. The Stuffed Pumpkin is created inside  the Cooking Pot. Whereas the other 3  

Feasts can all be made in a regular crafting grid. Organic Compost is a new block, and has  2 different ways of being crafted. Or   you can occasionally find them in Villages,  as Farmers will be experimenting with them. Over time, Organic Compost will become  Rich Soil. The process takes a while,  

But can be sped up with sunlight, nearby  water, and activator blocks like Mushrooms. When a growable plant is placed on Rich Soil,   it will have its growth randomly boosted  like it’s had Bone Meal applied to it,   and the crops placed on top will be immune  to trampling, among a few other benefits.

There are a few other things worth noting.  Firstly, rice isn’t grown above ground,   it should instead be planted in shallow  water. Crops like Carrots, Potatoes, Onions,   and Cabbage can be turned into crates for storage  or decoration. Then they can be broken down again  

Into their food form. Tree Bark is used to make  Organic Compost, and can be obtained by placing   Logs on a Cutting Board, and using an Axe. It’s  recommended to use a mod like Just Enough Items   or Roughly Enough Items. Then you can hover over  objects like the Cooking Pot, Skillet, and Cutting  

Board, and when you press the U key, you can  see all of the different ways it can be used. There’s lots of addons available for  Farmers Delight, which can expand   functionality with new foods and blocks.  I’m not going to mention them in this video,  

But you can easily find them on CurseForge.  Some will add Nether themed foods,   or provide compatibility with other  mods like Alex’s Mobs or Abnormals. That covers the basics of Farmers Delight  and how to use it. I might cover some  

Add-ons in the future, and if you enjoyed  this showcase, check out some of my other   videos. And consider subscribing, as  there’ll be more coming in the future.
