Set Up Your First Kitchen and Start Cooking

Craft Your Cookbook

Begin by crafting The Craft of Cooking book. Place wheat and a normal book together in any crafting table. This interactive cookbook is your guide—it automatically reveals new recipes as you collect ingredients throughout your world.

Gather Kitchen Blocks

Search your world or craft the basic kitchen blocks:

  • Cutting board – for preparing and portioning raw ingredients like meat and vegetables
  • Mixing bowl – for combining prepared ingredients
  • Cooking pot – for heating and combining ingredients over fire

Place these blocks near each other in a dedicated kitchen space. The cutting board is your starting point for most recipes.

Begin Simple Recipes

Open your cookbook and look for beginner meals. Most early recipes use common ingredients like wheat, vegetables, and raw meat. Follow the step-by-step instructions shown in the cookbook interface. Each step tells you which block to use and what to place in it.

As you complete dishes and gather new ingredients, your cookbook will unlock additional recipes automatically. Start with light snacks before attempting complex feasts.
