Chef’s Delight Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I turn a villager into a Cook in Chef's Delight?
Place a Skillet down near an unemployed villager so it becomes their job site block, and they will take on the Cook profession. Once they have the job, they will offer simple food trades.
How do I turn a villager into a Chef?
Place a Cooking Pot near an unemployed villager to assign it as their job site block, which gives them the Chef profession. Chefs offer advanced food trades instead of the simple ones Cooks provide.
What's the difference between a Cook and a Chef villager?
Cooks are created with a Skillet and trade simple food, while Chefs are created with a Cooking Pot and trade advanced foods. If you want the better trades, aim for Chefs.
My villager won't become a Cook or Chef, what am I doing wrong?
Make sure the villager is unemployed and has not already been traded with, since a locked-in profession cannot be changed. Also confirm the Skillet or Cooking Pot is placed within the villager's reach and that no other villager has already claimed that job site block.
Can I change a Cook into a Chef or vice versa?
No, once a villager has a profession you cannot swap it to the other Chef's Delight profession. You will need a fresh unemployed villager and the correct job site block for the role you want.
How do I stop Chef's Delight houses from spawning in my villages?
Open the chefsdelightconfig.properties file in your Minecraft config folder and set the structure generation value to 0. You must restart the game for the change to take effect.
Where is the Chef's Delight config file located?
It generates in the Minecraft config folder under the name chefsdelightconfig.properties. Edit it there and restart the game to apply your changes.
Can I make Chef's Delight houses generate differently per biome?
Yes, the config is set up so structure generation is random and can differ between biomes. Adjust the relevant values in chefsdelightconfig.properties and restart the game.
Do I need Farmer's Delight installed for Chef's Delight to work?
Yes, Chef's Delight is an addon for Farmer's Delight, so Farmer's Delight must be installed alongside it. Without the base mod, the added professions and structures will not function.
How do I build a trading hall with Cooks and Chefs?
Set up separate stalls, each with its own Skillet or Cooking Pot as the job site block, and bring in unemployed villagers to claim them. Keep each workstation claimed by only one villager so the professions assign correctly.
